I've been struggling with pimples and acne ever since I had chicken pox three years ago. I never had any skin issues before that, so I'm wondering if my chicken pox wasn't treated properly back then and if that's why I'm still breaking out. I'm really good with my diet and I work out regularly, but nothing seems to stop these breakouts. Could the chicken pox be the cause, and what can I do about it?

I'm dealing with a lot of acne scars all over my face, and the acne itself just won't stop. I've been using Betnovate N, which seems to be doing wonders for reducing the pimples, but the scars aren't budging at all. Could you give me some advice on what I should do about the scars?

- For acne scars, consider using products with ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, or niacinamide to promote skin healing and reduce pigmentation. For active acne, keep using Betnovate N as its helping, but also consult a dermatologist for long-term
