How do I get rid of acne and scars?

In 8th grade I swewar I was like the only one in my grade to get acne. It sucked. By, 9th grade I decided I really want to get rid of it. I tried Proactiv for about 2 months and saw very minimal improvements. It was then I decided to go to a Dermatologist. When I got there, he checked my skin out to figure out the severity of the redness and bumps, checked to see if it was mostly blackheads, white heads, or the common red zit, and he checked to see if my skin was super oily or not. He ended up giving me steroids (a pill) that I had to take twice a day, morning and night. I also had a gel i had to put on in the morning, and a face wash I had to use 2-3 times a day AND a cream to put on before bed. It sounds extensive and frustrating but it wasn't, especially since I wanted to do ANYTHING to get rid of all my acne and scarring. i saw better improvements in a week than I saw with the proactive in 2 months. by 11th grade I got rid of my acne entirely, and only had to use and Epiduo cream at night. Now I have no acne and no scars. I dont need to use any medicine, and every now and then i get the occasional stress zit, which i just pop and put epiduo on, and its gone the next day. I am going to be a sophomore in college. I know it sounds like a long time, but it isn't and it IS worth it. Good Luck

Well I think there are certain pills to take for acne, for example, I THINK erythromycin helps it. You can probably get this prescribed from your doctor. About the scars, have you tried the product Bio Oil? That was made specifically for scars and stretch marks etc. But most scars become less noticeable over time, so if you can make the acne go away, hopefully the scars will improve themselves.
