it depends on what stage they are, if they're the ones that have been picked... over and over again and they're healed then you can't get rid of them, its kind of like a picked scab turning into a permanent scar on the knee...

Have you tried Mederma? I have used it and it doesn't make them go totally away but makes them less noticeable.

No, I have not tried Mederma but will. Thanks.
I have scars at varying degress, some are not scars yet! I'm just having a really bad year with this and am dreading wearing shorts - which I LOVE!
Don't scold me, but I'm wondering if a really bad sunburn can get rid of them? Anyone know?

Nope a sunburn actually makes them more noticeable sorry.
