There is no oral medicine nor topical medicine nor any kind of laser will be able to cure your scars.

Only PRP, Microneedling, Subcision of the scars, Plasma Fibroblasting will help you get rid of the scars.

Depends on patients skin.... Sometimes medicine do make an effect on melasma. Scars need laser or PRP or even fillers. Options depend on pt choice n severity.

Erbium resurfacing can reduce acne scars. Not very effective for melasma, may sometimes even aggravate melasma.
