How Can Acne Scars On The Face Be Treated?
I am 33 years old and have got too many scars on my face because I used to pop my pimples a lot. I still get pimples/Acnes. I have changed my eating habits too and it s mostly oil free and dairy free diet yet I do not see much improvement. Please suggest how to cure it completely, if not please help me prevent it and get rid of my scars too.

Hello,
Kindly, do the things I say now, and you will definitely be successful because I also used the same regimen to get rid of my pimples. For now, use Isotretinoin tablets which help you not to get pimples.
Be careful, if you are getting pregnant because it is teratogenic. You can be on doxycycline antibiotics but with a prescription. Try not to touch a pimple more if you pop it with a sterile blade or something then use cotton to dry out and leave.
Use clindamycin antibiotic gel daily with a good face wash. Wash your face 3 to 4 times daily, put on sunscreen lotion and a moisturizer after every wash, and do not use any other creams.
If you want, you can get chemical peeling done with multiple appointments. Use face steamer every day for 10 minutes to improve circulation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
