I have an ointment salicylic acid ip6%. I have male and acne marks on my face. Can this ointment be used for their removal. Or can you suggest something else to get rid of both. Thank you.

Pimple marks can take a long time to fade. Its first necessary to stop new outbreaks and simultaneously work on lightening the existing marks. Use sunscreen 2-3 times during daytime and a skin lightening moisturiser. For faster results, there are treatments like chemical and meso peels, anti-pigment electroporation, medical facials and q-switch lasers. Do not use lightening creams without doctor's supervision to prevent side effects.
