Treatment for Scars Left After Acne Surgery?

I don't know if you understand exactly what a doctor did to me. I think the procedure I had is called acne surgery. I am not sure if the alternate name is comedone extraction--he used needle anyway. He convinced me that he should do this to me. From the first time, my face became totally red, and there was blood everywhere in my face. This situation continued for 3 treatments more (continued breaking the new spots). I changed doctor and did therapy of minaxen pills. Now, I am 21 and I have multiple small, needle-sized scars on my forehead, and some bigger-sized scars on my cheeks, which still look red. Help!

A: First step to a poor result after acne surgery is to let everything completely heal.

It's unclear what was done to your skin from your description.  If the skin is still red, it is biologically active in wound healing which should be allowed to come to completion before moving on to some other form of therapy.
