Thank you for your inquiry. Depressed scars are certainly damaging to your self esteem and we can work together to make yours better!
The best method of treatment is with fractional laser treatments. Ablative laser treatments are stronger and require fewer treatment sessions. However, there is some down-time involved while your skin heals. Also, if not done properly there is a small risk of hyperpigmentation or raised scars.
Non-ablative laser treatments are also very effective. These treatments are less intense, thus requiring more treatment sessions. However, the risk for discoloration and scarring is very minimal.
In terms of oily skin, you should begin to use a retinoid (retin-a, differin, tazorac). This is a prescription vitamin A cream that helps normalize the oil production of your face. The added benefit is that the retinoid cream can stimulate collagen below the skin surface to help heal your scars as well.
For more information about lasers, please see the "laser" section of desidermatology.com
Since finances are an issue, I want you to know that most of the products out there that claim to help scars ae ineffective -don't waste your money or time. A regimen of retinoid + laser will definitively work for you :)
Sincerely,
Dr Tareen
