Hi,
Do not worry.Your condition is treatable.I would suggest you to go for Salicylic peels with Microdermabrasion done in a gap of 3 weeks atleast 8-12 sittings totally.You can start using Fash foamy face wash twice daily along withT.Azithral250mg twice daily for 3 days in a week for 8weeks and topical Papulex cream twice daily and report to me later.

hi,welcome to HCM,
YOU said u have been battling with acne for past 12 years, then you must be suffering from both post acne scars/pits along with little active acne, as you said u have used all creams, i suggests you go for new lasers with 420nm which are giving good results for active acne and co2 laser for acne scars,i think lasers are the choice left for you,consult a laser specialist near you
