How To Reduce The Acne Scars On The Face?

As a teenager I had oily skin and suffered from regular acne. Right now I am 25 years old. With the passage of time the scars have reduced a lot. The skin is a combination with oily T zone. But there are still so many pimple holes on both my cheeks. How to get rid of it?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pimples can occur due to causes like Oily skin,Clogged pores,Hormonal Imbalances,Bacterial infection,Inflammation,Excess sun exposure etc.

On the other hand scars/holes are left when the pimples are deep and aggressive..
Scars are of different types like Boxcar scars, waterpik scars, rolling border type and the treatment is not completely done with topical medications and you might need certain chair side techniques depending upon type of scars like Microdermabrasion, microneedling,excision with elevation, dermal rollers, Fractional CO2 lazers etc depending upon the scar type..
You can start applying silicone gel over the scars..
Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
