honestly, those look hard to treat. i don't have a good answer. possibly fraxel or some other laser but it is not easy.

thanks for the response. What type of scarring do i have, and how bad is it?

i don't know. whatever it is, i do not think it will be easy to fix. it looks more like bad texture than anything else.
best,
sml

yes, it does indeed look like bad texture.

I dont know if its actual scarring due to acne, or if its just due to the seborrheic dermatitis i have (or hyperkeratinization on my face). In your honest opinion, does it look really bad?

cool.

cheers too.

dr.lam, would tca cross (performed by yourself) work on these?

i know its hard for you to give guesstimates over the internet... but in your opinion, judging from the photo, how much improvement can tca cross give me?

thanks

cool.

Huh? What is cool?

sorry, i responded to a page one comment. i don't think very much at all. probably just a few of the bigger holes will get some modest improvement. probably would not be worth it in my opinion.
