When it comes to scarring, preventing any future scarring is the best first course of action. First, aggressively get treatment of acne if you have any, thus preventing further scarring. Do not squeeze pimple as it will scar because scars are really more from squeezing than from the acne itself. Try to leave your skin relatively untouched. Once acne is under control, surgical scar revision is an option. However, scarring is a permanent condition, so scar treatments may improve the condition, but rarely remove it. Many surgical, chemical and laser procedures are available for surgical scar revision. Only a select few plastic surgeons and dermatologists are specialized in acne scar revision surgery. So go to a good center which is specialized in such procedure – such as Kaya skin clinic.
Advice for treatment of acne
1.     Stop Roaccutene as it will not help in treatment of acne scar
2.     Apply locally Clindoxyl gel (clindamycin + benzyl peroxide) at bed time for a month
3.     Do not squeeze pimples as it will cause scarring
4.     Keep pimples untouched
5.     Try to avoid use of unbranded cosmetics unnecessarily
6.     Avoid mental stress as it aggravates acne
Advice for removing acne mark
You can use following creams after total clearance of acne:
1.     Retinoic acid cream
2.     Alovera based cream
How to use??
Mix equal amount of these two creams on your palm, mix well, apply very gently on your face at bed time. Do not rub while applying and apply a very thin layer (small amount). Remember; mix only whilst ready to apply. Store both creams separately.
Retinoic acid makes you skin sensitive to sunlight. So use Spectraban sensitive sunscreen cream before exposure to sunlight. You can use other over the counter sunscreen available in the market.
Try to avoid soap for washing your face. Use only oil based face washes.
