Understanding your concern. As per your query you are suffering from marks on face which is mainly due to side effects of face wash and it could be due to clogged pores of skin with dead cells. I would suggest you to apply topical treatment options include Clindamycin Or Benzoyl peroxide for day time use as a spot treatment and topical Retinoids for night time application. apply only on affected area and not all over face. Chemical peeling, Microdermabrasion, Fractional Co 2 Laser are recent methods to preven them completely. apply tea tree oil on them and don't touch them repeatedly. If there will be any dark spot use lightening agent rich in kojic acid. Drink plenty of water.

It could be post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and atrophic scars. Scars if depressed which will take time to heal, if these are superficial it will resolve its own.I would suggest you to apply topical treatment options include Clindamycin Or Benzoyl peroxide for day time use as a spot treatment and topical Retinoids for night time application. apply only on affected area and not all over face.

Apply tea tree oil on them and don't touch them repeatedly. If there will be any dark spot use lightening agent rich in kojic acid. Drink plenty of water.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
