Hello dear. Active acne can be treated with Persol and it will prevent future scarring also. However, the scars which are already present need minor dermatosurgical intervention
Next Steps
Schedule an online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment
Health Tips
PCOS is the underlying cause as excess androgens flare up acne. Be in touch with your gynecologist

Treatment for dark spots and scars is different. Persol will work on acne and not on the damage caused.
Kindly take online consultation to help you better.
