Hello dear,
the best drug for resistant acne is oral tablet isotretinoin , must be taken for at least 6 months,do consult your GP or dermatologist to get prescribed .be careful absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy/lactation.
And for acne scar,
microneedling (dermaroaller)
co2 laser resurfacing /fractional co2
multiple sitting s required,minimum 5 to 6 sittings to get optimum results. May get 50 to 80 percent improvement, result is subjective.
treatment for scar to be done after clearance of pimples, at least 6 months after stopping isotretinoin.
Thank you
