[Skin concerns] I need help identifying what is wrong with my skin, how severe it is and if there is realistic hope for it. Involving redness, acne scars, volume loss, texture issues. I appreciate it, thanks.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi all,https://imgur.com/a/NXWSzSo my skin issues include chronic redness, indented scars, volume loss, some red scars, major texture issues. I had severe cystic acne on and off for over ten years, this is the result of that.I do still get very minor breakouts as you can see in the pictures, however I never get cysts anymore or severe acne. (That acne is well controlled via diet, basically I could have a face full of cysts within a week if I wanted to. Sugar and oil are major culprits for me, as are processed foods)My questions are:What is up with the chronic redness, is this rosacea or just from years of having acne inflammation? Dunno if it shows well in the photos but my face is always extremely red and I flush very easily. I also get little white pustules (not serious but they occur weekly, and I've read this is a sign of rosacea. They are very small.)What is the severity of my scarring? I don't mind blunt honesty. I was told by a dermatologist that I have severe scarring (with a grave look on her face 😜) and while I know it is bad, I can't help but compare it to people I've seen with pits and holes covering their entire face (the kind that really can't be hidden by makeup, for example). I feel like there's a difference between what I have going on and that. Mind is bad for sure but is it bad enough to classify as severe? I can hide a good portion with makeup, aside from the indents on the apples of my cheeks. In person, most people would not initially notice my scarring (or maybe I'm wrong haha).What type of scarring do I have?Is there any hope for my face? I say that knowing it sounds melodramatic, but I'm serious all the same. What can I do to improve the scarring and redness? Best plan of action? Do lasers need to be involved or can I do other things? Any input really appreciated.Products to use? What's worked for you?Thanks a lot in advance, I really appreciate it if anyone replies. And anyone reading this who has similar skin issues, you're not alone. Don't give up. There is always a way to make things better, always room for improvement, don't give up hope. Cheers.
