I am 21 year old female and I am suffering from acne vulgaris. I have had it since 14. I am currently using spongy sal face wash and peroclin 2.5% gel. I used to use a sunscreen, calamine solution and doxy antibiotic but I stopped few months ago. Initially it was effective but later on, pimples started reappearing. I shampoo once in every 3 days using an ordinary shampoo. I am worried about the scars also. My entire face is scarred. Please suggest a solution to bring it under control and also to reduce the scars.
