Treatment For Scar In Face Due To Meth Usage?

my daughter used meth and now has scars. She is not using it for the last 1 month or so and her face is getting better but still couple of scars and skin discoloration are present. Is there way to treat her skin. She is a young woman of 22 and I as father want her skin glowing.

Hi,

Please do not worry as the scars will fade with time, if she continues to remain abstinent. A regular routine of cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing will hasten the recovery. There are some ointments and creams available which can affect scar modulation but she will need to see a dermatologist for that.

Best wishes.
