Righto, so I never had that much acne a year or two ago, lately I've had a few breakouts but It's been ok. That's not the problem, I've got some scars from past breakouts which don't look too flash.

I actually don't mind them too much, it's not really that bad, but I am getting a job as a topless waiter where your body is the product and I gotta look real good for that. I'd like to have clear skin for the gigs, does anyone know how to get rid of scars short of chem peels and lasers and whatnot?

Also, I've sometimes I get these little lumps of fat underneath my skin, they are larger than pimples, and if I try to pop them they won't budge. (not that I should be popping them anyway).

I have no clue what they are, but they take aaaaages to go away, and almost always leave a scar. Anyone had this before?

Cheerios,

Lust.

Are they scars or just red marks? Nothing will get rid of scars except for deep peels, laser treatments or fillers. You can accelerate the removal of red marks with superficial peels and wearing sunscreen, but otherwise they will fade with time.

Those lumps sound like cystic/nodular acne. If you're getting this type of acne frequently you should see a doctor/dermatologist because, like you said, they cause scarring.

Hmm ok cheers. I think it's a bit of both, some may be red marks while others scars.

I'm a bit iffy about going to see a dermo, I don't trust them...
