How to get rid of acne that causes scars?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old male. I have severe acne and pimples on my cheeks. It started two weeks ago. I used aloe vera, and the effect has somewhat reduced the severity, but the marks remain, and new pimples keep appearing every day.

Please suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Kindly share your photos. In the meantime, you can apply Deriva-CMS (Adapalene and Clindamycin) gel at night on the pimples.

Additionally, do not scratch or break the pimples, as it can cause dark spots and scars that are difficult to treat.

Kindly follow up after a month.

Thank you.
