Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne scars on face which occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum, dead skin and bacteria get infected. This is very common at your age group. I would suggest you to first of use product containing benzoyl peroxide. Drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
