Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Saddiq ul Abidin. I have read you question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

The pimples you had in early teens and still now are relating to Acne. It is very common in early teens with people with oil based skin. So relax,you will get rid of it once the teens is over and your hormonal balance settles down.
For the scars you described seem to be of icepick type,most common with acne. There are many remedies for it like topical creams containing Alpha hydroxy acid, beta hydroxy acid. Creams containing retinoids and Ascorbic acid, vitamin C vitamin A are very helpful. Do discuss with your physician regarding that. If still these scars persists then you can go for Microdermabrasion and Chemical peel.
As your dermatologist will prescribe you that after seeing the type of scars and response of topical treatment. If still these persist don't get disheart there are still improved ways like laser therapy,fillers and surgeries to get rid of these acne marks and have your shiny glow back !




I hope this answered your question.If you have more queries I am happy to answer.Otherwise rate and close the discussion
