does anyone have a good remedy for red acne marks?
I know that they are supposed to fade after a few months, but mine take forever to go away.
I wear sunscreen, but does anyone have any good ideas for helping them to fade on oily, olive tone skin?

Oh god I know how you feel. Mine take forever to go away too.

I had two Pulsed Dye Laser treatments. It the's same thing they use to remove port wine stains and such. Anyway, it worked beautifully. The face is bruised for about 10 days after the treatment, but the results are more than worth it. The thing is, though, that there is a risk of hypopigmentation, meaning that the lasered area may come out too pale when it heals. I have very fair skin so it wasn't a problem for me. *shrugs* Talk to a dermatologist.
