Dark Skin, Scar From Pimples. Treatment?
so my problem is related to skin. i am breaking out right now again. i am 27, have darker skin (indian origin) so whenever i have a pimple it ends up with a scar that discolorates darker than my regular skin. and it can be seen and doesn't go away. so now a pimple is building up again and i am wondering what to do about it in order to avoid that scarring...?

hi single pimple is a not a significant feature.it can be due to staphyloccal infection.it can be cured by nadoxin gel or clindamycin phosphate in the morning and persol ac in the night.dark skin due to pimples can be cured by kojic cream or niltan ointment.if not cured use chemical peels like glycolic acid and mandelic acid.if still not cured go for lasers
