You Think You're Acne Is Bad? Pictures Attached

honestly.. that doesn't even look that bad at all. no real scarring, just inflamed pimples/red marks.. just hyperpigmentation. you're luckier than a lot of people on here. looking at your back, i can't exactly gauge how long it will take for your marks to heal. i had something like those on my face and it took about a year for them to completely fade.. they mostly healed on their own but i also took apple cider vinegar orally and topically. i did the medlite laser twice and it helps with red marks. if it doesn't hurt too much, you should also exfoliate with baking soda 1-2 times a week. that has worked for me and has helped in making my skin a little bit smoother. not amazing results, but hey, it's better than nothing. also, they WON'T be there for the rest of your life, trust me.i'm planning to dermastamp my hyperpigmentation on my face soon. you should check it out on owndoc.com. good luck!
