Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand that you are having acne and post acne marks.
You will benefit from applying a gel containing 1% clindamycin in the morning and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide at bedtime. Use this on the active acne.
Do not pick/ scratch the pimples as this will leave marks.
For the pimple marks, you could use a gel containing 2% Kojic acid at bedtime.
You could also get glycolic/ salicylic acid based peels done by a dermatologist. This will help you to reduce your acne as well as lighten the marks. It will also make your skin more even toned and improve your complexion.
Have a well balanced diet rich in anti oxidants like fruits and vegetables.
Drink plenty of water.
Avoid fried/ sugary foods.
Avoid excessive sun exposure.
Hope this helps you.
Take care,
I find this answer helpful
