Hello,

Acne and cyst pits can take a long time to get filled. You can use Retinoids (Tretinoin) ointment or creams, applying it helps to improve skin texture and reduces the scars overtime. Applying silicone gels or creams will help to flatten and smooth raised scars and may also improve the appearance of pitted scars.

If your acne scars are severe or persistent, even after use of the above-mentioned ointments, you are advised to consult with a dermatologist. You may need treatment by dermal fillers or laser treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
