Acne and scars
I've been having acne from a long time and now getting scars..I have treated it with benzoyl peroxide which wad prescribed by one of a dermatologist...acne on cheeks and forehead and white heads on a few areas of my face
Acne can cause red or brown discoloration and uneven skin contour. Usually multiple types of treatments are needed for maximum improvement. Patience is key since the full effect is often not seen for several months.
Skin discoloration and texture can be improved with topical treatments like hydroquinone and Retin-A, but for deeper scars and more significant discoloration, other techniques like resurfacing are needed.
