Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. You can do gentle face wash twice daily with acne soap. Applying benzoyl peroxide and aloe vera combination on acne is helpful. You can apply this at night and wash in morning. For scars you can go for creams based on kojic acid or vitamin c. Avoid sun exposure on scars as it can cause more darkening of it. You can apply sunscreen while going into sun for this. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
