Brief Answer:
Management of acne
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I understand your concern and have reviewed the attached photograph.
You are having moderate grade of acne.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take tablet azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 3 consecutive days in a week for 6-8 weeks and apply adapelene 0.1percent gel on the pimples at night.
For marks use broad spectrum sunscreen gel during the day time and depigmenting cream containing kojic acid at night.
Acne is a chronic disease and will take 4-5 months to settle.
These are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.
Don't start with facial immediately.
Let these pimples subside and then you can restart facials.
Otherwise it can cause worsening of your acne problem.

Dr Asmeet
