You have what is known as PIH or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
1. Sunscreen and sunprotection- this forms the absolute cornerstone of management. You need to be on this for the duration of any treatment .
2. Apply a kojic acid cream for at least 8 weeks.
3. Chemical peels such as glycolic acid can help. You will need 4-7 treatments over the next few months.
4. Vitamin A such as tretinoin can help.
The best treatment is a combination of the above.

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.
