Acne scars can generally be repaired. Under a doctor's guidance, topical medications such as asiaticoside cream may be used for treatment. In more severe cases, chemical peels, fractional laser therapy, or local collagen injections can help repair acne scars. Acne scars are primarily caused by squeezing or infection during active acne breakouts. In daily life, it's important to maintain facial hygiene and develop the good habit of washing your face morning and night.
