Are Red Marks considered Acne Scars

[xjustsaymaybex]

I've been using Tretinoin to open up my pores and even up my pigmentation, Are red marks considered Acne Scars and if not, what are considered Acne Scars?

[waterlily]

I think red marks are considered acne scars also. The indented ones/icepicks are acne scars for sure.

Okay, mine are not the indented/ice pick ones.

Do you think a Light Chemical Peel could help even them out?

[waterlily]

It will, but you may need to use it for 2 or 3 months or even longer to get rid of the marks completely. Tretinoin is supposed to help with red marks too.

I've been using Tretinoin for 6 weeks now and have noticed a slight improvement, I'm sure I haven't given it proper time for anything dramatic though, but I will likely look into getting a series of chemical peels done.
