In addition to being unsightly, some scars remain itchy or painful long after a wound has healed. While over-the-counter creams are a convenient and inexpensive way to reduce the discomfort and improve the appearance of scars, they're not a guaranteed solution to this problem.
Acne scar creams can be found at your local drugstore or pharmacy. In most cases you will need a prescription to obtain the cream, which means first you will be visiting a dermatologist. If the doctor thinks a scar cream will help fade the acne scars, he will recommend a medication.
