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 call me and meet me at my clinic or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.

When you mention about the MARKS do you mean the dark marks OR the depressions in the skin surface which occur when big acne pimples heal. For the treatment of the pigmentation marks creams can be used. For the treatment of the depressed scars procedures are required to get an improvement. The very tiny depressed scars would require either laser treatment or micro needling. You could consider doing CO2 laser or Er:Yag laser sessions ; 5-6 sittings to improve the skin texture (upto 60-70% ) over the scar and the result from this will be PERMANENT. For the holes some kind of procedural intervention definitely be needed. I practice in mumbai itself. You can meet me and we can start the right treatment accordingly. A direct consultation would always be preferable to an online consultation. hope this is helpful .
