Looking for personal accounts

A while back I posted that I was looking for personal accounts--stories of people who have suffered, or are suffering, from acne; stories of people who need help or else have found help (tell us how you did it!). While I will post all kinds of personal accounts, right now I would really like to hear from someone that has had an issue with acne scarring. I personally have considered using certain methods (laser treatment and various products (mainly ointments of the OTC variety)), and I would like to know if any of these have worked for anybody.

So: If you have used any product or laser treatment to try to rid yourself of acne scars, I am curious to know how it went, whether the experience was good or bad. I hope for all readers that the treatment has gone successfully, but horror stories (readers, I think, should know what to be wary of as well) are also more than welcome.

Remember, if for whatever reason I do not post the story, it is nothing personal. It simply needs to be a true story and it needs to fit in with the subject at hand--i.e., acne.

'Til next time, take care. :)

P.S. Oh, I am also interested--if any skin experts or dermatologists happen by my blog--in an expert's opinion on what is the best way or method to prevent acne. I am aware that some of the certain things that have long been thought to cause acne (pizza, chocolate, and soda pop, to name a few), have been proven untrue. I am still very much in the dark about what is a 'myth' when it comes to what causes acne, and what isn't--and I'm very interested in an expert's view on such subjects as well. (Simply reply to this post if you have anything to share on this blog.)
