Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne and scars on face which is very common problem in this age group and hormonal changes , stress , oily skin and excessive exposure to sun are all possible causes for this. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables also drink plenty of water. Apply vitamin E before going to bed to fine texture of skin. I would suggest you to wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide then apply cream containing azelaic acid which is safe and very effective. If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment . Doctor may prescribe retinoid ointment and antibiotic like clindamycin. Yes you can go for laser therapy as that is very beneficial for acne and scars and there permanent cure.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
