Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain acne can occur due to a number of causes like oily skin, clogged pores,hormonal imbalances, bacterial infection, inflammation etc..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can do a proper examination to check whether you have pimples or not as you do not know it for sure..
In case if pimples is the cause you can be advised to take a combination of antibiotic and anti inflammatory medication..
You can be advised to apply creams containing benzoyl peroxide and Clindamycin over the pimples..
You can also apply retinoid containing Adapelene gel..
You can also apply Azelic acid preparation..
Wash your face with mild facewash containing Salicylic acid..
You can also exfoliate your skin twice a week with a face scrub..
You can also appy Silicone gels over the scars as well as go for treatments like Microdermabrasion, microneedling, dermal rollers etc..
You can be advised oral antibiotics and retinoids..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
