How do you get rid of acne scars on your back and chest.?
I don't have dark skin but i dont have light skin either, i would say it's right inbetween. (if it matters) Anyways i get acne on my chest and back and they leave these dark black scars. Senior Ball (prom) is about three weeks away and i was hoping to rid of them by then or at least have them fade a little. Are there any really good products or methods that can make them go away fast?

Scars cannot be removed completely and traces will always be left on the skin. For scars to heal effectively, it is very important not to scratch or squeeze scabs, wounds or acne. There are several treatment options that can improve the appearance of a scar and make it less visible. Over-the-counter or prescription ointments, creams or gels are often used to treat scars.
Sometimes corticosteroids or antihistamine creams are administered for scars that may cause itching. Scar plasters are sticking plasters that may help to reduce or soften the scar. In cases where scarring is a result of severe acne, your doctor or dermatologist may use pressure treatings or silicone gel sheetings to treat scars. For protruding scars such as keloids or hypertronic, steroid injections may be used. Collagen injections may also be helpful in treating pitted scars.
Natural remedies
More and more people are looking for natural and holistic ways to heal scars from acne, chicken pox, injury or surgery. While some topical creams and medical procedures such as dermabrasion and laser resurfacing may lessen the appearance of scarring, they are often very costly and harmful to the skin.
Natural treatments such as herbal remedies are less invasive and gentle to use on the skin. Herbs such as Galium aperine (Cleavers) and Trifolium pratense (red clover) have a wide range of therapeutic benefits that act as a cleansing tonic, blood purifier and lymphatic cleanser.
Homeopathic ingredients such as Natrium muriaticum, Kalium muriaticum and Kalium sulphate help to maintain skin health and support the regenerative processes of the skin.
Oleum Lavandula is well-known for its soothing and healing properties and has been used for centuries to heal and prevent scarring.
Symphytum has been traditionally used to promote healing and cell regeneration; making it useful for treating scars and skin disorders.
