Brief Answer:
Try ADACLIN

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I am medical doctor, an associate in Department of Dermatology, working with an experienced Dermatologist. I answer on his behalf.

Try applying Adapalene ointment for the acne and scars. This is the best available cure for acne these days. If the acne are infected then you can try a combination ointment like ADACLIN.

Any medication you use for dandruff or acne has to be stopped on a gradual basis. Sudden stopping can lead to recurrence.
