Hello,
How are you doing. Its good that your acne has be treated. Scars formed usually take little longer to heal but there are good home remedies to reduce this issue. One best suggest is soak almonds overnight in water, next day morning make fine paste with few drops of milk and apply on the scars. The Vit E in almonds helps reduce the scars also helps improve the glow of the skin. Tea tree oil is considered another best remedy curing the scars. Soak a cotton ball in tea tree oil and apply over the scars daily. Honey is a natural healer and has many medicinal values and used since the ancient times. Apply Honey daily on the scars and wash off daily. These are some of the best remedies to follow. If you can diligently follow for sometime you will definitely see a change.
Hope this helps..
Thank you
