Hello,
I understand that you have been dealing with problem of acne for a long time.
Key is in maintenance, acne can be due to multiple causes and be of various type.
If you do not have active pimples now but have marks opt for retinoic acid 0.025% at night, and do not forget to use a sunscreen in the day time suitable for your skin type such as suncross aquagel or ansolar.
As a procedure you can opt for chemical peels or mesotheraphy targeted to reducing skin pigmentation.
Have vitamin C rich fruits and meet a cosmetologist who can explain you further about these procedures and assess your skin.
Take Care
Regards
Dr.Sidhu

Hello
Thanks for using HealthCareMagic
I would be pleased to answer your question:
The treatment of this depends on the degree of pigmentation. If it is just a slight unevenness in colour, then usually triluma cream applied twice a day, will gradually help even out the tones. However it will take 6-9 months by the time the tone starts even'ing out.
There are other (but slightly higher risk as they can make pigmentation worse if used without medical supervision) options like chemical peels (30% glycolic acid peel- available via amazon) used every month along with the triluma cream twice daily. This will work a bit better, but as I said, needs medical supervision.
LASER treatment can work quite successfully by resurfacing the top layer and letting new skin heal the area from underneath. The CO2 LASER is quite good for this purpose, but you would need to see a dermatologist for this.
