Good evening. Acne scars are difficult to treat. Treatment options depend on the type of acne scar and overall improvement is to be expected over a couple of sessions spaced over a few months. Creams do not help very much in improving acne scars by itself. It needs to be combined with suitable procedures. Kindly ask your dermatologist regarding acne scar treatment options or consult someone who does provide the same.

You did not tell your age & how many days the problem is, however deriva-bpo gel is a prescription medicine having combination of medicines that are used to treat acne. It removes the dead layer of the skin which is present on the top. It stops the growth of bacteria. So apply only an effected area & no need to use
again after the disease is cured. Thanks!

Hi lybrate-user. U can continue the same medications. Start using a sunscreen with a spf of around 30 to 50 which is non comedogenic (acne uv sunscreen gel) and a moisturiser (aqua soft fc) at night times since you can experience some dryness due to usage of tretiva tablets.

With homoeopathic medicines, also take the following self-care steps to lessen the effects of acne:

Try not to squeeze, scratch, pick, or rub the pimples. ...more
