Hi Dear, Welcome to HCM. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acne along with pimples and acne marks which occurs when a pore in your skin gets clogged, usually with debris, bacteria and dead skin cells and causing area to be red and swollen. I would suggest you to exfoliate gently once or twice a day with a salicylic acid-based exfoliant. Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil to lighten the pigments. Apply benzoyl peroxide cream or gel for killing the bacteria in the pore. Apply kojic acid cream on face. You should wash your face using a clindamycin gel with mild soap and lukewarm water. If condition doesn t improve in a week then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis. You can go for laser therapy as well. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
