Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acne scars on face which is because hormonal change at particular age, clogging of skin pores, stress and dehydration and this condition is recurrent. Need not to worry. Take diet rich in multivitamins and drink plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist once to get your skin examined for laser therapy. You can go for dermabrasion, Fractional CO2 Laser, Chemical peeling,Dermabrasion as all these are all recent methods of skin clearing. Laser is very effective and safe way of clearing skin. You should start with use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during day time and at night you may use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel. Don't pick up acne as it will leave scars on face.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
