Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have noticed acne which occur because skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented and there is clogging of skin pores and it leads to post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper cleanliness of area. Apply kojivit cream at day time and adapalene gel at night time.. Drink plenty of water. Avoid touching or pricking acne. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks. Apply aloe vera gel at night.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
