Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have back and face acne scars which occurs because these areas are rich in sebaceous glands and pores of glands gets blocked. I would suggest you to give daily application of Glycolic acid 6 percent and retino a cream over your scars as it will lighten scars. Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil and apply them on scars. Take diet rich in vitamin E. Drink plenty of water. You can go for dermaroller and chemical peeling as well, visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-peeling and dermabrasion. You can apply aloe vera gel on them as well. Don't use ant cosmetics and hard substances on face and back.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
