Suggest Ways To Prevent Acne Scars

I am an african american female and in 9th grade i had an acne scar that was taking forever to get rid of so i went to a store to find something to get rid of it and i came across a skin bleaching cream that contained hydroquionine (how ever you spell it )and i over did it thinking it would work faster and it did my scar was completely gone so i stupidly decided to put it all over my entire face to prevent new scars from coming and it made my skin lighter and beautiful until one day i woke up and it was dark marks on my cheek an around my mouth and they never go away no matter what i do and its been 5 years and im tired of piling makeup on my face and even then you can still see the scars through it ....it is horrible i dont know exactly what it is but i went on google and exogenous ochronosis came up and im pretty sure that i have it please help me

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Scar marks can be removed medically as well as surgically.

Also LASERS are good in removing scars.

The modality of treatment can be decided only after seeing the scar.

A photograph would have helped me better.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.

you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
