Hi,

As you said you suffer from acne and post acne scars.. Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial skin disease.. Stress,tension,oily food,dandruff,exercise, travelling,sun exposure,drugs like steroid... Might precipitate or exacerbate the disease.

Clindamycine gel in morning and adapalene gel at night on lesions might improve the condition. Glycolic acid 6% cream on scars at night might improve the look. Azithromycine 500 mg thrice a week and isotretinoin 5 mg daily might enhance the healing. Cleanse the face with cetaphil lotion.Kindly take treatment under observation of dermatologist.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.
