I’m new to skin care and would like to know if I have dry skin and how can I get rid of those spots circled in blue for you? Also what facial moisturizer would you recommend and would exfoliating get rid of those to marks or would I have to get it lasered? Thank you!

Answer: Skin care likely will not help The areas you circled are atrophic scars. Unfortunately, skincare will not completely eliminate them. Creams with retinoids (specifically tazarotene) have some data to suggest they can improve the appearance of scars, but I would not rely on them too much. There is a range of cosmetic options available for improving atrophic scars, and they are most effective when used in combination (TCA cross peel, microneedling, and lasers). Please let us know if we can be of assistance.
