Acne marks
As per previous prescriptions,I use Adapalene cream when I get a new pimple. In 2-3 days the pimple disappears but I have marks leftover. I tried to use Tretin from a previous prescription, but it caused black charring on my forehead. Can you please suggest any medication to remove acne marks. Photo attached

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.,
