How can I remove these scars on each side of my cleavage? (Photos)

October 8, 2018
Asked By:AcneMess in Panama, PA

Do I need laser treatment? I break out on my chest and back due to stress and tend to absently pick at them. These looked more like ingrown hairs than pimples in the beginning. When I touch them the skin feels denser. They've been like this for three years. I tried using Retin A, Hydroquinone 2%, my aesthetician would use microdermabrasion on them when I visited her - nothing worked. I've lost hope that they will fade without a doctor's help. The skin is also slightly shiny. I will post a pic.
