Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acne marks on the skin which is because skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented and it leads to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Need not to worry. You should apply Demelan or Meladerm cream and it is purely safe to use as this is combination of hydroquinone + Tretinoin + steroid and apply it at night time. I would suggest you to wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid which is good for acne as well as marks. Drink plenty of water. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocycline, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
