For acne, you may want to consider taking low dose of zinc and vitamin E, such as Gluzin and Toco VE. You can find out more at www.extremev.com.

After consulting with his dermo, my son, in his mid-20's have had bad acne all his life.  He has been on a 25 mg daily dose of zinc and 1 softgel of VE for the last six months.  His face has cleared up tremendously!  

Also, you may have already heard of watching what you eat and exercise!

But I'd agree with Dr. Kaur - make sure you consult a doctor to make sure something else is not happening?

Hello,
For such type of scarring, treatment includes various skin creams like azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion. Avoid picking, harsh scrubbing, and abrasive treatments unless prescribed by a dermatologist during this period.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
