Hello! Acne with acne scars are chronic problems which can come under control with few medications. You should go for a proper skin consultation where the face wash and creams as per the skin type can be prescribed to you. At times few oral medicines can work wonders to pull you out of an acute phase of acne. Acne are of different grades and medicines are prescribed as per the severity.
It is better to consult specialist than self treat. If left untreated fresh acne will leave behind more scars .

The severity of acne dictates the choice of treatment. In the early grades of acne even the cream might suffice however in moderate to higher grades tablets also need to be taken. The treatment has to be continued for a few months otherwise the pimples would tend to return easily. Kindly do not self medicate without professional advice as that could further damage your skin. Get an online consult privately with pictures or meet a dermatologist directly for a proper evaluation of the condition. Hope this was helpful.
