Brief Answer:
Need regular treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

I have seen the attached picture.
You seem to have both active acne lesions as well as post acne scars .
Such a case needs to be managed by a course of oral antibiotic anti acne drugs along with local treatment .
I would suggest that you should start application of retino a cream at night to the affected areas .It does cause some skin redness and peeling ,but that is the way it acts .
Apply minimal cream ,only over the affected area .Put a moisturiser all over the face before applying retino. This also helps in reducing irritation .
According to me ,for best results you should see a nearby dermatologist and take regular sittings of chemical peels or dermabrasion.This will help in reducing the scars and eventually even out the face .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over the affected areas.
Use a medicated sunscreen with spf more than 26 regularly before going out in the sun .Apply it atleast thirty minutes before going out and re apply every three hourly .
This will prevent any sun induced further darkening of the scars .
Regular courses of azithromycin 500mg once daily for four days ,repeated every three weeks will help in preventing development of new acne lesions .
