    One thing that you can try is to apply fresh lemon juice to the spot before you go to bed and wash it off in the morning. CAUTION: do not apply it to your whole face, it will sting and your skin will get all red. Just use a cotton ball to apply to the spot or scar. Lemon is a natural whitener so eventually it will lighten the spot. It may take a while, but It will lighten it a bit after a while. Other than that, I'd see a dermatologist.

    I went to see my GP after I had bad acne that was starting to scar. We went through a large number of different antibiotics, the idea being that a large proportion of acne is due to bacterial colonisation of sebaceous ducts, with little luck. Eventually I was referred toa dermatologist, who prescribed me Roaccutane (generic name is Isotretinoin). This ia a very powerful anti-acne drug with excellent results, however it can have serious side effects (depression) in a very small minority of people, hence why it must be prescribed by a specialist.

    It is basically a modified preparation of Vitamin A taken for about 6 months at a time. Usually, if the treatment is successull, the acne will not reoccur again following end of treatment (it has't with me), and in cases that do, a second course usually takes care of it completely.

    However, although the link with depression is not proven, because of the concern over a small number of cases, it must be consultant prescribed, meaning you may have to wait for a few weeks to see a hospital based consultant before treatment can start.

    My course was immensely successful after a few weeks, and the acne has never come back since. However, whilst on the medication, I did suffer from dry skin on my face, as it reduces sebum production, so the skin dries out. My lips also often cracked. But I just bought some moisturiser and applied this, and carried vaseline with me for my lips, no problem. You may have to take a blood test beforehand as it can alter your fat metabolism, though this is much rarer, and if you are expecting a baby you cannot have this medication for a few weeks either side of trying to concieve, but if you aren't actively trying for a baby and are using contraception, or not currently in a sexual relationship, there isn't a problem.

    My advice - go ask your doctor. If they try you on antibiotics first, they may work. If not, Isotretinion is a hugely effective backup.

    The key is NATURAL YOGURT. All you have to do is apply this on your face, upper chest, back, wherever you have blemishes, scars,etc. and leave for about 20 minutes and rinse off. Apply once a day preferrably after you've had a hot shower since your pores are opened up. It takes patience though but I guarantee that after 2 months you will see a huge difference! Just make sure it's 100% NATURAL yogurt! None of those flavored ones.

    However, if you want a quicker results, here is a list of the 6 best acne that WORKS!
