To remove the scars left on your face, you can try using a topical cream containing silicone gel, such as Mederma. Apply a thin layer of Mederma on the scars twice a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement. Additionally, you can consider using a vitamin E cream, like Derma E Vitamin E 12,000 IU Cream, to help with scar healing. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.
