Greetings. Its common to have acne in the teenage and early adult life. these acne as they resolve, may leave behind spots and scars. Follow the following instructions: 1. drink at least 2 to 3 litres of water daily, increase intake of vegetables and fruits - fresh ones and avoid sweetened fruit juices 2. Wash your face regularly with salicylic acid based face wash 3. You'll need retinoid based creams and skin lightening creams 4. Please see a qualified dermatologist near you - and seek detailed prescription after thorough examination. Warm regards Dr Govind Suresh Mittal (govindmittalatgmail.com)
