I have acne scaring on both sides of my nostrils. Anyone know a way to get rid of this? Should I see a dermatologist? Is there a way I can fix it at home (DIY)? Suggestions please & thank you.

Makeup covers it up but I hate the bumpy look under the makeup, grr!

2-3 times a week, mix about 1tsp of baking soda into your usual face. It's amazing as a natural exfoliant and has drastically improved the scaring that I had. It also had antibacterial properties to help prevent breakouts. Rub it together in your palm with your wash and massage gently over your face. My skin has been blemish-free and my scars are almost non-existent since I've started doing this :))

Is it raised? If so, try kinerase scar healing therapy. Works wonders. Kinda pricey though.

Yes, it is raised. It basically looks like I have a mole/pimple but its what was left after the pimple left. Am I able to buy kinerase online, Kabao?

You can get kinerase at an Ulta store or online. It's $48.

The raised ones are harder how to get rid of then flat ones but to help get rid of the discoloration I would use a combination of glycolic acid product and vitamin C also LaRoche Posay has a serum called Mela-d which is working really good for me to get rid of my acne scars it does take a good couple months to really see a difference but just be patient I would also see a dermatologist if you have insurance because they can also use different types of lasers or treatments for the raised scars.
