I'm wondering if there is anything else possible to get rid of the scarring at all in the next 2 months? (photos)

Question

I've had issues with MRSA, staph and boils over the past 3 years and they have finally gone after almost 3 yrs. I wake up, come home from work, and one before I go to bed. I use a tea tree body wash all over my body then as soon as I get out of the shower I put coconut oil all over my body aswell everytime I shower. I honestly don't want to spend like a fortune to get it off I just would love more advice at to getting rid of the scarring with anything else please!

I would use the Kareskin Body Brightening Kit followed by fractional laser. Exfolase and Luminase are excellent for body pigmentation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

I am sorry for the delay in  return to your normal skin. From your question, it seems like you did not get any good advice. If you were my patient with a diagnosis of MRSA, I would suggest loosing the oils and butters. You want to keep your skin dry. Bleach baths every so often are recommended (ask your doctor for the formula) . Wash gently with your hands only. DO NOT SCRUB OR SCOUR. This makes the dark spots darker. In this area sun protection is not needed unless you are sunbathing?Benzoyl peroxide washes may help. I hope my answer does also,Dr Beverly Johnson
