Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have scars caused due to acne which could be due to hormonal changes in body and dehydration and clogging of skin pores. I would suggest you to take an oral antibiotic either Doxycycline or Azithromycin for 2- 3 weeks. Oral retinoids are one of the most effective antiacne medicines which are recommended in case of severe or acne unresponsive to other medicines. You should visit dentist once and get it examined. You should go for derma roller session as it will give better effects. Drink plenty of water.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
