What Measures Should I Taken To Overcome Acne And Its Scars ?
Hi I have a very bad skin condition I have had acne problems in the past as a teen I have acne scars on my face that have gone really light but they are turning to dark patches on my face. I am so embarrassed to go out like this I can not go out without make up although I am not a makeup person I want my skin to go back to being clear again! What should I do about it

Hello,
You can use skin lightening creams such as ones containing kojic acid, in addition topical retenoids are a good choice
Procedures are also helpful opt for superficial or medium depth peels.
Meet your dermatologist who will be able to see the level of pigmentation and start the treatment accordingly.
