Home > Ask the Dermatologist > Questions & Answers > Answer Dermatologist Answers Online Search the database for your question: fading acne scars Question I am a cancer survivor. As a result of my chemotherapy, I have experienced acne on my back and shoulders, and subsequently have acne scars on my back and upper arm region. These scars are quite unsightly. How do I get rid of these scars? What products can I use;I am no longer on chemo. I am a black woman of medium-brown complexion. Any advice/words of wisdom would be quite welcome, I assure you. Thanks so much! Answer I get questions about scarring frequently, I tell everyone the same thing, scarring is extremely difficult to treat. That is the first thing to keep in mind, so that you do not become discouraged. I truly do not feel that topical products alone give great results. However if you wish to try, I suggest trying Sonya Dakar Omega-3 Repair Complex and/or Refinity Rejuvenating Hydrogel - 15% AHA. Keep in mind that with scarring, sun protection is essential, as sun exposure can worsen scarring. Your best option may be laser therapy, dermabrasion, or surgery. I suggest making an appointment with a dermatologist in your local area for more information on treatments that help with scarring. Best skin care wishes.
