Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acne scars on the cheeks and chin which could be due to clogging of skin pores, exposure to allergens such as dust, mist and due to hormonal changes.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salycylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelac acid.

- Exfoliate your face once a week and drink plenty of water.

- Avoid use of cosmetics.

- Cover face while exposing to allergens.

- Add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet.

If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe chemical peeling and alternative course of medications.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
