What is the best way to get rid of acne scars?

I have acne scars on my upper arms and on my back. I know you're not supposed to pick pimples, however, I found that when I'm depressed, that's when I pick them. Now that I'm getting the help I need of the depression, I would like some help getting rid of the scars. I'm tired of my boyfriend yelling at me and looking at me in disgust because of them. I don't have much in the way of money, so laser treatments are out as well as anything really over $20 bucks. Are there any home remedies you know of that worked for you? Or something cheap? I'm embarrassed to even wear tank tops or bathing suits until they are gone. They don't even have to be all the way gone, just lighter would make me feel better. I do use Proactive, that has helped clear the acne, just not the scars. Thank you in advance for your answers.What is the best way to get rid of acne scars?

i hate my scars too!





i find drinking 6-8 glasses of water stops me getting spots, eating a good diet too (but thats obvious, just so hard to keep up with!)





finding a good product is a good idea (i swear by clearasil) and use lots and lots of moisturizer before you go to sleep!





maybe try this product called bio-oil, its expensive but works really well over time!





:)
1) Cook oatmeal and apply on face for fifteen minutes and wash.


2) Make a warm bath with blanch of nettle and rosemary.


3) Apply equal amount of lemon juice and rose water with a cotton ball and wash it after haif an hour for 15 to 20 days.

First of all, ditch that loser boyfriend and fine one who loves you for who you are, not for your skin.





Second, you can try Mederma. It's an over-the-counter scar reducer that works really well. It's about $20 for a tube. You have to apply it several times a day, though.
well i would love to know the answer to this question myself so i'll be watching.





however, one thing you might want to consider losing as well is your boyfriend. no loved one should yell at you or look at you in disgust. that is wrong and shows he may be superficial. please consider it.

Hey there,





I am in exactly the same boat - I have scars too from acne, - arms and legs too. And I hate the thought of wearing skirt or swim suits (makes me sweat and shiver just thinking about it!)





Have you ever heard of BIo-Oil? It can work wonders. Apply some on scars/strech marks and they'll fade much quicker.





It is around 拢8 for a wee bottle though (tis expensive) and you'll have to keep at it for a few month til you see results but when you do, you should be pleased. Check out their website.





(And no, I don't work for them ;p)





And whoever said it is right - get rid of that guy! He sounds no good - I mean, who's going to shout at a person for scars? Something they can't control. It's not like you put them there on purpose to P him off! You can do better than that and I'm sure you deserve better.





Wish you the best!


PS. Take care of yourself, not him.
