I need some ways if anyone knows how, to get rid of scars. Any scars. Like acne scars, strech marks, scab scars, any. Maybe to just make them less noticable. My sister keeps asking, maybe Ill have some answers? Please and Thank you.

Hello,
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a condition where there is an excess amount of pigment following a disease process that affects the skin.  Without treatment, this usually takes about 6 months to resolve and for the skin color to go back to its normal color.  Topical treatments with acids and chemical peels can be effective but can take a while for the skin to totally revert to its normal color.  Microdermabrasion can also be done, but this might require several sessions.  Skin resurfacing using lasers is also an option.  

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Check into microdermabrasion or laser therapy.  I'm sure there are others, but this is all I remember off the top of my head.  Make an appt. with a dermatologist and they'll let you know what the best treatment would be and how much they cost.  Good luck!
