How do you get rid of facial scars caused by acne?

Around that time of the month I get breakouts around my mouth really bad and I have a lot of scars around there. How can I get rid of the scars? I’m sick of just covering them up because the coverup seems to encourage further breakouts. :/ it’s frustrating.
Thanks for the answers!

get some bio-oil:) works a treat and has worked for alot of other people
whats always worked for me is lime juice. just apply a little juice to the scars daily and you’ll see results in about 2 weeks : ) try it, it really does work
The best way would be to treat it. Wash your face daily with a scrub that’s not harsh on your face and is right for your skin type and try proactiv to get rid of the scars.
they have a special laser surgery for that
Sorry to say there is no good at home remedy :/
Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular and affordable ways to get rid of acne scarring. According to national averages, it usually costs around $127, but realize that usually you need to get a series of treatments for optimal results. Most people get treated twice a month at first, then they ween off it once they get the results they are looking for. So when you budget it, keep that in consideration. The fact that its affordable and its only side-effects include dryness and flaking skin for a couple days makes it ideal for improving acne scars.
Depending on how severe your acne scarring is, there are other ways to treat it too:
Laser Skin Rejuvenation– average $2,424 per treatment
Fractional Laser Resurfacing– average $1030 per treatment
Thermage Treatment– average $1131 per treatment
Chemical Peels– avereage $719 per treatment
Dermal Fillers– average $397 per treatment
Microdermabrasion is the most affordable, but checking out those other options might help too.

The best way to figure out what treatment is best for you is to talk with a doctor or specialist near you. You can find doctors near you and set up free consultations (during which they will advise you the best way to get rid of your acne scarring) healthyskinportal.com

More and more people are looking for natural and holistic ways to heal scars from acne, chicken pox, injury or surgery. While some topical creams and medical procedures such as dermabrasion and laser resurfacing may lessen the appearance of scarring, they are often very costly and harmful to the skin.
Natural treatments such as herbal remedies are less invasive and gentle to use on the skin. Herbs such as Galium aperine (Cleavers) and Trifolium pratense (red clover) have a wide range of therapeutic benefits that act as a cleansing tonic, blood purifier and lymphatic cleanser.
Homeopathic ingredients such as Natrium muriaticum, Kalium muriaticum and Kalium sulphate help to maintain skin health and support the regenerative processes of the skin.
Herbal ingredients such as Tea Tree Oil & Neem contain antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiseptic properties and are not only effective for acne but for other skin conditions too. Other herbs such as Rooibos and Bulbine frutescence (a South African herb) have wonderful antioxidant and healing properties and also help to prevent skin infection and provide ongoing relief. In addition, Lavender essential oil acts as a circulatory stimulant and antiseptic, and is used to treat burns and wounds and to prevent scarring.
