How to Treat Old Scars from Razor Bumps and Acne on Dark Skin?

Asked By:5233anon in Seattle, WA

Black skin. Patchy scars under chin and on sides of the neck from razor bumps and previous acne. The razor bumps are now much less of a problem and the old scars are flattened. However, nothing that I use seems to fade them. What can I do to have removed/lessened?
