An ice pick scar is one of the toughest types of scars to treat. Unlike most scarring that is on the surface, ice pick scars are small and deep. It is tough to treat this type of scar as a sloughing off the upper layer of your skin will not eliminate it as it goes much deeper.
Bursting your pimple with needles or pins is a bad idea as it will increase the chances of further infection. It will also damage the tissue and increase scarring. If you still have acne, make sure that you get it treated first.
You can try over the counter creams that contain benzoyl peroxide as they are very effective.
The method of treatment for ice pick scars depends on the depth of the scar. Most creams for scar treatment contain retinol, and although this will work on most scars they will not work on yours.
If your scars are shallow, dermabrasion or microdermabraison could help you. If you have deep scars, dermabrasion and laser treatments will not be of any use. You would have to go in for Punch techniques in which the scar is removed surgically and the area is then treated with a skin graft.
