Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and can appreciate comedones, pimples and marks.
If I was her treating doctor I would recommend her to take tablet Azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 3 days in a week for 6-8 weeks.
Besides this apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5 percent gel on the pimples and comedones twice daily and kojic acid cream ( kojivit plus cream ) on the marks twice daily.
Also apply a broad spectrum sunscreen like faceguard sunscreen gel on the entire face during the day time.
Avoid oiling of scalp, intake of sugary foods, picking of pimples and avoid make up and cosmetics.
These measures will help in getting rid of acne and marks.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
