Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of scars and pigmentation on face which is because hormonal change at particular age and this condition is recurrent. You should take laser sitting which is very effective way of treatment so need not to worry. You should start with use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during day time and at night you may use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel. You should take diet rich in multivitamins and take fruits and vegetables rich diet. Don't pick up acne as it will leave scars on face. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist once to get your skin examined. You can go for dermabrasion, Fractional CO 2 Laser, Chemical peeling, Miocroabrasion as all these are all recent methods of skin clearing.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
