Brief Answer:
Self care/ expert advise & treatment would help.

Detailed Answer:
hi XXXX,
Thanks for the query under HCM forum.
Skin forms a mirrior of one's personality.And in todays world of competition,looks matter much. I understand your concern.
Usually acne does not leave any scars/ holes. But picking / squeezing of acne results in rough skin & holes.
* Self care-(with an advise of a beautician)
- Using sunscreen all the days.
- Use exfoliating scrub on the acne holes. They remove the dead layers of
skin & stimulate new skin generation.
- Apply bleaching cream on the holes
Many a times the problem is managed by these simple means. in case it does not-don't get discouraged...
* Modern medicine offers solutions for such problems too.Let me elaborate them for your information.
1. Get acne already present before you start treatment, treated well.
. Visit a skin specialist. You may be given antibiotics/ anti inflammatory
drugs/ & some times hormones & local retinoids as per doctor's advise,
2.Treatment for managing holes on skin-
- Laser resurfacing treatment- It consists of use of laser to cause wounds
on skin.. & antibiotic/ vitamin A, E,C are given while it heals nicely to
repair prevoius holes.It needs a prolonged application opf antibiotic
ointment& follow ups .
-Acne surgery can be appllied to heal sacrs.
-Fillers treatment - here fillers ( synthetic/ your own tissue filler ) is
injected to fill up the holes.. This lasts for 3 months . So treatment
needs to be repeated after 3 months.
3 After care of the repaired skin- for skin health/ avoiding acne.
- Eat diet rich proteins/ vitamins( Vitamin A,C,E) with lot of salads, fruits,
milk.
- Avoid exposure to sunlight , use sunscreen as per doctor's advise./ wash
face frequent with glycerine soap./steaming of skin after proper
massage helps.
- Use light, noncomedogenic moisturizers as per need.
- Routine skin care with non oily toner, clinzer, moisturizer is advised
* Thus extensive treatment by specialist to get rid of skin pores followed by routine skin care to maintain skin health & avoid recurrance of acne would relieve you off the bothersum skin problem you have.
I hope you find the answer both informative & useful Any follow up query is welcome.

Brief Answer:
Efficasy of simple treatment depends on duration / severity of condition .

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for your follow up query.
In fact acne holes are difficult to manage by simple means. The harm made in form of holes /scars/ uneven surface of face tends to be permanent.. & needs a specified procedure to get rid of it.
But before going for such specific treatments ( as described above), it's desirable to find & manage recurrence.( which also becomes important from prevention point of view. Also you seem not to have specialist consultation till now.So I suggest-
- To consult a dermatologist,get investigated & start with specific treatment to cure/ arrest acne.
- Side by side adopt an acne friendly lifestyle.. like stopping smoking, curtailing high glycemic diet, avoid sweating, use oil free cosmetics- specially acne shaving cream
* The specific treatment & ideal life style changes will definitely arrest the new crops./ make your skin condition better/healthy Make sure to get advise for preventing recurrence.
* Doctor's treatment along with exfoliating scrubs ( special for acne patients )& bleaching under a beautician's care.. may cure mild acne holes.
- Now if you don't get satisfactory results .., choose any of the suitable specialized procedure with your doctor's advise.
* So though result of simple treatment may not satisfy you, it's essential to get treatment with a dermatologist's advise & the approach more specific procedures as per need..
-The treatment of acne / acne holes has to be tailor made according to patient's needs/ severity of the problem.& this should be decided by dermatologist.
- The simple skin care & lifestyle changes have a definite role in prevention in future.
I think that answers your follow up query.Any more help you want, I would be happy to help.
Please grade the answer before you close the query.
Thanks.
