Boxcar scars and dry skin - what treatment would be best? (photos)

December 8, 2022

Hormonal acne started in 2021, due to abruptly stopping birth control. Having now gotten back on birth control this past year in 2022, I no longer have breakouts. My skin used to be amazingly perfect as I had acutane as a teenager & through the years put much money into protecting my skin from any damage and no I've never "picked" my face. I've had 1 fraxel laser treatment for entire face & 2 TCA peels targeting my ice picks scars. Now I'd really like to get the box car car gone. I hate my skin.
