Hi,
As per your query, you have acne scars on the face which is a very common problem and hormonal changes, oily skin and excessive exposure to the sun are all possible causes for this.
Need not to worry. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables also drink plenty of water. Apply vitamin E before going to bed to the fine texture of the skin. I would suggest you wash your face with a face wash containing benzoyl peroxide then apply a cream containing azelaic acid which is safe and very effective. If the condition doesn't get better in a month then consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. The doctor may prescribe retinoid ointment and antibiotic like clindamycin. Exfoliate your skin with non-comedogenic exfoliating once a week to remove dead skin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
