Ask your doctor for a gel called Retin-a (tretinoin). This will clear both active acne and post-acne scarring. It can cause a bit of skin irritation at first so use a bland cleanser such as La Roche-Posay or Cetaphil during treatment.
Your doctor may also prescribe a course of oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline 250mg twice a day to kill acne-causing bacteria on the skin.
