hi there!! i had a really terrible few days of picking a few weeks ago and the dozens of scabs all over my body have finally healed now. unfortunately, i'm still left with scars/dark spots everywhere, so i'm wondering what you all have found to be the best treatment for reducing the appearance of these? i got some Mederma scar cream a couple years ago after a similar episode, but didn't really feel like it did much.

i also want to start exfoliating properly, both to reduce the appearance of the scars and to prevent ingrown hairs, which is what triggered this episode in the first place. any recommendations are very welcome and appreciated!
