Is There A Solution To Get Rid Of The Stubborn Marks Due To Severe Acne And Pimples ?

Hi Sir, my age is 26. Skin type is moderate(not too oily). For a long long while I'm suffering from severe acne and pimples which leave stubborn marks on face even after cure. Tried following all the possible precautions, may it be avoiding oily/greasy foods, artificial preservatives, using benzoyl peroxide lotion externally or may it be taking antibiotics(tetracycline) orally, did derma-embrasion using aspirin tablets also. Please suggest me the solution to get rid of it.

Hi,

Acne scar left over by acne usually require patience. They heal over a period of time but some experiments over scar, make them worse like squeezing and picking, exposure to sun, application of vit. E (formally believed to have healing effect).
Ointments containing cortisone helps in fading the mark. Kojic acid application showed better results too. And if all treatment fails then non-ablative laser treatment will help without damaging the skin.
Do wash the face regularly.
