Acne scars, what kind of remedy are there?
I’m not exactly what type of acne I have…and I cannot see a dermatologist because they’re very far away. I’m a 14 year old boy, and my acne does not leave my face after months—and they often leave scars. I’m not exactly sure what kind of acne I have…they’re like a red bump, with not much signs of any white. I’m assuming they’re nodules…but they’re not very painful, nor are they very “hard”.
One of the pimples left a scar too, so I’m wondering if there’s any way to get rid of it…I’ve heard about a remedy of “toothpaste” but does it really work? I wash my face quite often, so I really don’t know!

toothpaste can work but can also cause burns. If you do use this then you should make sure it is actual paste and not the gel or a combination.
Look for products that contain the following ingredients they are great for clearing up acne quickly and more reliable than tooth paste:
1) Hyaluronic
2) Salicylic
3) Willow Herb
4) Tea Trea
Regarding acne scars, the recommendations are going to depend on your skin type and whether the acne is still a factor. TCA and Jessners can both address the problem but Jessners is not always appropriate for dry skin or pigmented complexions.
Here is a great blog post on reducing acne scar appearance:

Toothpaste does not work.
For acne and scars:
Lemon Juice/Original Yogurt- take 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and original yogurt into a bowl and mix them together. Then take a Q-tip and dip into into the lemon juice/original yogurt and rub the mix onto the acne scar for a minute, leave it on for 10 minutes, then wash it off, do this twice a day.
Potatoes- Wash a potato, cut a slice of potato, take the slice and rub it around the acne scar for a couple minutes. Leave it there for 10 minutes then wash it off, do this twice a day.
Tomatoes- Boil a tomato in hot water for 10 minutes, then with a big spoon take out the tomato, mash the tomato with a fork and scoop out the seeds, rub the part of the tomato (that has no seeds on it) on the acne scar. Leave it there for 30-40 minutes, then wash it off, do this twice a day.
Drink a glass of Green Tea everyday! Green Tea has maximum strength that heals acne scars! You can buy Green Tea at drugstores and grocery stores.
Massaging your face with essential oils. Oils such as almond, extra virgin olive, and grape seed. Almond and grape seed are suitable for every skin type. Its suppose to get rid face of all blemishes and even scars, even skin tone and a clear, healthy and skin. It’s best to quite vigorously massage into skin. In just two days you will get dramatic results.
Tone your skin with a toner to get rid of blotchy skin, heal acne scars, and to shrink your pores. I suggest you buy T.N. Dickinson’s Witch Hazel Astringent. How to use this toner is to take a cotton ball, pour some of the toner onto the cotton ball, and in downward motions apply the toner all over your face (or wherever else you have acne), leave on the toner until you are going to wash your face again. Use this twice a day, morning and night. You can buy at any local drugstore such as Rite Aid and Walgreens, and probably other local drugstores. You can also order this product online.
You should see results in 4 days. The acne scar should be completely gone in a week-a week in a 1/2.
Good luck<3
