Hi,

Acne vulgaris lesions heal leaving scars in your case. Acne is a multifactorial disease. All precautions should be taken to prevent acne. Take minocycline 50 mg daily till acne lesions heal. Apply clindamycine gel at night on the lesions. For the scars, apply glycolic acid lotion 6% daily at night and hyaluronidase with silicone gel daily in morning. Take vitamin E 400 mg daily. Cleanse the face with glycolic acid containing face wash. Yo may be improved after few weeks to few months. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
