Hi,
I have Seen your question,
Acne generally appear due to factors like age -related , excessive testosterone , and high fat consumption in food.Its can be prevented for sure. Old marks though cannot be removed unless you undergo plastic surgery , but you can prevent new acne , by applying ayurvedic products like "Tadheen " balm , steaming and applying lemon for once a week.
But my previous experience did show that products like benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin do leave marks hence i suggested you the natural and effective remedies.
But in any case i would also recommend you to see a dermatologist for any further guidance.
Hope this Helps,
Dr.G.Gayatri Devi

Hi,
You may contact me for more personal advice.
Follow the advice of a dermatologist instead of using any home remedies like neem, lemon or garlic because they can do more harm than good.
You have to use a retinoid either orally or locally to cure you of your pimples once and for all. Use a facewash which contains 1-2% salicylic acid. Do not take any protein supplements.
Hope this helps you.
