Dermatologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your query. Acne heals leaving behind marks, known as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Proper cleansing of face with recommended facewashe is required for reducing open pores. That clears the excess oil or sebum from the clogged pores. After proper consultation with a dermatologist, you should start off with medications firstly to clear your acne and then the pigmentation. These medications will unclog the pores, reduce excess sebum secretion, control the bacteria causing acne and reduce the post acne pigmentation and open pores.
Rest fruit juices are good for rehydration. In case of recurrent and resistant acne, you can undergo some hormonal tests as recommended by your dermatologist.

Thanks
