Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for your query.

With the description, it looks like you are suffering from truncal acne and acne pigmentation.
It would be good if you attach a good picture of the lesion, it will be of valuable help in deciding the treatment protocol.

As of now, you may start using salicylic acid soap (like medsoap acne).

Whether you would need specific anti acne treatment, I shall decide after seeing the pictures as treatment for active acne and post acne marks is quite different.

For diet, there is no particular restriction. Just avoid too much of oily food. Take good amount of water. And antioxidants like amla, oranges, mausambi, etc., will benefit you.

Regards

Hello,

Thanks for the follow up and providing the picture.

I see you have mostly post acne pigmentation and few active lesions.

My suggestion is you need treatment with antibiotics like Doxycycline for 6-8 weeks and local application of Hydroquinone lotion or cream for 3 months.

These medicine are not available over the counter. So, please visit a Dermatologist personally for a prescription.

I hope, I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you have no follow up queries.

Regards.
