Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne and acne scars on face which is because hormonal change at particular age and this condition is recurrent. I would suggest you to start with a topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during day time and at night you may use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel. Drink plenty of water. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once. Dermabrasion, Fractional CO 2 Laser, Chemical peeling, Miocroabrasion are all recent methods of skin clearing. Apply creams rich in kojic acid. Don't pick up acne as it will leave scars on face. Apply benzoyl gel as well. Apply mashed potatoes on face to lighten skin. Use sun screen cream rich in spf 30 such as TAN CARE. Use medicated soap such as metarub to wash face daily.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
