Do you have any suggestions for treating acne on my back?

What Would Be the Best Choice(s) in Treating Acne, Acne Scars, Clogged Pores, & Dark Spots?

• I am 17 yrs old and I am curious as to what would be in my best interest for treating my acne related issues. My acne is very light and pretty much under control now. I seem to break-out more so during hormonal cycles in which my skin gets very oily (I get white heads and a couple cysts). Although, even after my break-outs have surpassed, white heads under my nose, cheeks and chin persists. Fortunately, they are not as bad as they once were. Some of it has left very superficial atrophic scars. I know most doctors note that scars cannot be 100% completely removed, but I have also researched that depending on the severity of the scarring you can get a complete or almost complete improvement/removal. My scars are not severe in size, but there are more than just a few (I am also afraid of the gradual effect if left untreated). My scars are fairly new in arrival which I also know serves as a great factor in completely improving the scars' appearance. I have been researching a many of treatment options from: every kind of chemical peels, laser resurfacing, surgical procedures (subsicion and punch excision i.e.), fillers, topicals, abrasions (dermabrasion, microderm, etc), and other ablative and non-ablative procedures. {My personal health/ health habits are right on point, if I might add.} I do know that scars are formed from the loss off tissue and also collagen, so I have concluded that the best treatment(s) will address the restoration/repair of the skin/skin surface and rebuild collagen growth. I also know that I have to go to the right dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or facial plastic surgeon with much practice in the area of scar removal. The only thing is I am CONFUSED! On one site "this treatment works" than on another "it doesn't", or that "you can improve them" and "you can't". I am completely confident that my scars are 95%~100% prone to improvement if given the proper guidance to the PROPER treatment. My skin is not extremely sensitive (though, it can be sensitive to some extent), it also very tough, and I am of a lighter skin-tone. Money is not much of issue, nor, is [down] time. Help me please! If I can just get the answers that will help I can move on to the next steps of this which will be consultation (finding the right doctor) etc etc..... HELP! PLEASE AND THANK YOU! **Excuse the excessive run-ons and grammatical errors. I was rushing a bit. Also, I would appreciate it if the answer was from someone very knowledgeable in this criteria or has experienced it personally. I honestly do not want temporary fulfillment (fillers) so something with long term effects**

• Answer:

  A damn good male dermatologist who has a skin spa, be prepared to take meds, apply topicals, have skin peels, etc. You will be under the care of the derm, but you will also be cared for by his people, who will help you a lot. Good luck!
