Brief Answer:
Acne scars along with active acne lesions
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I have seen the attached pictures.
You surely have acne scars along with few active acne lesions.
Since there are a lot of acne scars ,so the best treatment for your problem would be chemical peels or dermabrasion or laser photo facials. All of these basically help in improvement of skin texture andreducing any irregularities in skin color. For these ,you will have to see your nearby dermatologist and take regular sittings for the same .
Till the time you plan a visit to dermatologist,you can start application of azelaic acid 10 percent cream to the scars and the acne lesions at night .
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 further darkening of the scars.
Hope it helps
