Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dark scars left by pimple which is due to various hormonal imbalances, stress, poor hygiene as it is formed due to clogged facial pores that get infected with bacteria. Medications which you are taking are perfect for clear skin, you should use it for short duration only. I would suggest you to apply cream rich in Azelaic acid or Kojic acid. Apply on face twice daily. It will lighten pigmentation on skin. use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30. Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil to lighten the pigments.You can visit dermatologist once and can go for chemical peeling or micro abrasion if your symptoms not resolving. Take supplements rich in vitamin C.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
