Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Acne, as you must be aware is pretty common condition caused chiefly due to hormonal influence and clogging of pores and followed by infection and inflammation. It has tendency for recurrence and complications like pigmentation and scarring, thus mandates proper treatment at the earliest.
Treatment usually depends on severity of of acne.
Since you have only few acne, i would suggest you to omit ZENMAC tablets and apply tretinoin cream alternate night followed by facewash with good quality face wash like Fash foaming facewash and go to bed after applying moisturizer like Cetaphil DAM. Keep your skin well hydrated by regular use of moisturiser.
Acne scars, on the other hand, are pretty challenging to treat and treatment comes with variable results.
I would suggest you to go for laser therapy (Fractional Co2 laser, Non-ablative RF etc) as it has the best results of all other treatment modalities. Moreover, if additionally treated with dermaroller or chemical peeling, pretty appreciable results can be achieved

Avoid junk food as far as possible and include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.

Hope this will take care of your condition.
Thank you
