Detailed Answer:
Hello,
For pigmentation and scar resulting from acne, I would recommend you to use tretinoin 0.025% gel at night and kojic acid 2% cream during the day. Avoid getting into direct sun with cream on.

Take care. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Thnaks,

sir what about active acne? as you can see i have one in my face, so should i apply tretinoin over it too or should i avoid that? Also i have small pimple all over my shoulders area which eventually breaks and leaves marks, is there any solution for that too? Also can i get the prescription for those medicines?

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
For active acne on face and shoulders you may use benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel during daytime. Tretinoin is to be applied on acne too, once at night. I would also suggest you to take an oral antiacne antibiotic e.g Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for a few weeks
Take care
