Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain white heads are a type of pimples also called as Closed Comedomes and are formed due to excess oil production, clogging of pores with dirt, dead cells and bacteria..

Scars left behind are due to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and can take a long time to resolve..
On the other hand scars/holes are left when the pimples are deep and aggressive..

I would suggest you to start washing your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
You should use benzoyl peroxide cleanser or gel..
You should exfoliate your skin twice a week with a gentle scrub..
Apply retinoid creams like Tretinoin or Adapelene..
You should use oil free sunscreen lotion and makeup..
Wash your hairs every alternate day as scalp also produces oil and can cause white heads on face..
Wash your face 2 to 3 times a day..

For scars you can start applying silicone gel over the scars but in case if they are deep and does not resolve clinical treatments like Microdermabrasion, dermal rollers, microneedling, excision with elevation etc has to be thought of and you need a Dermatologist to evaluate you and treat you accordingly..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
