Hello,

You have blackheads all around your nose. To get rid of blackheads you should wash your face gently and clean it with a cleanser and salicylic acid 2-3 times a day and after exercises. You can use pore strips. Exfoliate at least once in 15 -20 days. Do not overuse beauty products. Topical retinoids may be helpful. You have a lot of scars/holes in different places on your face. The scars can disappear but it may take a lot of time.

You can use Vitamin E products, they do work. You can also use herbal products like aloe vera, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and baking soda, mix them into one and apply it to the skin on the face. You should do exfoliation, it is helpful but do not overdo it. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a dermatologist.

Your dermatologist may recommend dermabrasion and microdermabrasion for quicker and better result. The damaged skin spots or holes are filled with chemicals like zinc oxide or sodium bicarbonate thereby the removal of scar spots become easy. Dermabrasion and microdermabrasion can handle big scars. Get treated at the earliest.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
