Understanding your concern. As per your query acne and scars on the face along which occurs when a pore in your skin gets clogged, usually with dead skin cells causing the area to become red and swollen. It seems to be due to facial hives/ skin eczema. Exfoliate gently once or twice a day with a salicylic acid-based exfoliant. If condition doesn't improve in a week then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis .Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics like clindamycin , Isotretinoin or Hormone Therapy. It could be due to hormonal change during puberty , androgen hormones stimulate more sebum to be produced and a greater amount of skin cells to proliferate. You can take sittings of chemical peeling, micro-abrasion as well. You can take oral tablet as well, best drug for resistant acne is isotretinoin. Apply benzoyl peroxide cream or gel for killing the bacteria in the pore.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
