    I never ahd serious acne , just the occasional bunch of spots. About a year ago though, almost every spot i got seemed to leave a mark on face.
    My cheeks are now dotted with scars. There not severely bad like some poor souls get left with, but bad enough.
    Has anyone got any tips on the best way to treat them, like can i rid of them without ridiculously expensive surgery?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    vitamin E cream. You can buy it really cheaply in a good chemist or the body shop. tends to heal scars quite well- they'll never go away totally but it'll certainly help make them less noticeable.

    Another option, slightly more expensive and a bit more girly is Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. Stop laughing please.

    This stuff was originally designed by Elizabeth Arden years ago to soften her show horses' hooves, but it actually works wonders for all cracked, dry skin and is great for healing scars. Again, very high in Vitamin E, its a very rivh emollient cream, a little goes a long way, and you could use it at night. After a couple of weeks you should see noticable results. And you can always say its a present for your gf when you're buying it- its a beauty must-have for lots of laydeez ;)
