Hi,
Thanks for posting on Health Care Magic.
First let me clarify the following:
1) The treatment of Acne Scars (not active acne): Acne scar surgery
Laser therapy, chemical peeling, dermabrasion, microdermabrsion, depending on the type of scars you have
2) Clinmiskin which contains clindamycin (antibacterial) which is prescribed in Acne and not for acne scar
3) Fuicidin contains fusidic acid (antibacterial) usually not prescribed in Acne
I will advice you to apply ample amount of moisturiser over your face 3-4 times a day (preferable after washing your face).
Do stop the other medications and consult a Dermatologist for your scars
Regards,
Dr. Gauri Kshirsagar
