IMG_20161013_181124.jpgHi.
I'm from india. I'm 21 years old. I've had a lot of acne since the past 3-4 years. Currently, I've been using glycolic acid and kojic acid(combination in a cream) every night. Also I have started to use retino A after my morning shower. I have seen a massive improvement in redness on my cheeks. I've posted these latest photos on my cheeks. Do I have permanent scarring? How bad is it? IMG_20161013_181124.jpg

I don't see much actual skin indentation. What you have is post inflammatory erythema (Edited link out) . Honestly bro don't even worry about it, your skin looks like it'll heal up quite nicely and won't leave any noticeable scarring.

Really??:D
On the Reddit post the OP said that he got some laser treatment done. PIE heals on its own? What can I do to speed up the healing process?
Thanks for that informative link. I really appreciate it.

Yeah no problem bro, seriously nothing to worry about. PIE takes months to heal though, but its a good idea to use sunscreen to further prevent any more damage.
