Need A Medication To Remove The Acne Scars From Face

I am 19 years old. I used a fairness cream a little while back. After withdrawl, I noticed my skin going back to its former complexion and acne appearing. My skin is now very thin in the cheek area and blushes very easily. Please suggest an ointment/cream which can help me eradicate my acne scars and also improve my complexion. Thank you in advance.

Hi, Thanks for posting your query
you seem to have used a steroid based cream which can lead to thinning of skin
You may take the following treament for scars and improvement of complexion:
Use a glycolic acid containing face wash like melawash twice a day
Koic acid cream at night
a sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection during the day
however the scars can not be eradicated by using only creams

Meet a doctor for examination and other cosmetic procedures for scar reduction

Hope this helps you
