Hello,

Scars on the face might be difficult to treat. It is important to avoid actions that worsen the scars (don't pick your face, don't use strong chemicals on the face) and also protect the face from the sun using sunblock and avoiding sun so the scar does not get hyperpigmented and be more visible.

After a while you can use retinoid creams or oral tablets that might help with the skin and also with the acne but you will need to use it with the recommendation of the doctor after a thorough examination.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
