Question What is out there to get rid of the scars?

Is there anything that can be done to try to minimize the scars from acne? Anything over the counter that helps? Any surgical procedures that work? Any response would be greatly appreciated!

There's a product you can get at the drugstore or order online called Mederma. I've not used it so I can't say if it really works or not. But I've been thinking of trying it myself on my acne scars.

I've seen laser resurfacing work really well on a work colleague. Also chemical peels. See a plastic surgeon or dermatologist for a consultation. Shop around for best price and experience.
I've heard that microdermabrasion helps if you go regularly.
