General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Acne is a disease of the hair follicles and it sometimes leaves a permanent scar on your face. However, scarring is a permanent condition, so scar treatments may improve the condition, but rarely remove it. Another “treatment” for acne scarring is simply accepting oneself. None of us are perfect, and many people suffer with acne scarring and live normal and happy life. Many surgical, chemical and laser procedures are available for surgical scar revision like dermabrasion, laser carbon dioxide treatment, chemical peeling etc. Only a select few plastic surgeons and dermatologists are specialized in acne scar revision surgery. So go to a good center which is specialized in such procedure.
Advice
1.     Apply Melacare cream in face at bed time for three months
2.     Do not rub or scratch your skin. Rubbing will cause redness
3.     Apply sunscreen before exposure to sunlight
4. Stop use of unnecessary cosmetics
Thanks
