Pink skin after scab fell off a wound
I've had multiple marks on face due to acne, once they heal and the scab falls off, the underneath fresh skin is pink and they don't tend to blend in to the rest of the face colour and takes a lot of time to lighten or practically become less noticeable. How can I get rid of this? It's aesthetically unappealing and I've too low self confidence and feel embarrassed to walk out. I avoid social gatherings, tend to stay at home. I've like zero self confidence to meet people too. This thing has emotionally drained me out.

Hello dear. Active acne needs to be treated first. Scarring can be managed by procedures later.
Don't look in the mirror and squeeze your pimples as it will lead to more pigmentation and scarring.
For best results, share a clear picture of the face via online consultation and follow the prescription
