How can I get rid of spot scars on my face?

How to get rid of acne scars and facial redness?

• I am 31 years old and still have some marks of my youth left on my face. On my left cheekbone I have what looks like old acne scars. How do I clear those up? Also, on my right cheekbone I have a red spot. It has been there for about a year now. It's only on my cheek and it looks like a red area shaped in a circle a bit bigger than a quarter. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

• Answer:

  Many have found relief from acne scars by using a class of chemical compounds known as retinoids. (they are related chemically to vitamin A) They work by evening out the skin tone, so over time the acne scars begin to blend in with the rest of your skin. You should look into obtaining some type of retinoid cream. Just note that it takes time for the scars to fade completely.
