Hi, I am a 23 year old female recently diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease and PCOS. Although I maintain a healthy weight and have regular periods, my doctor had prescribed Cytomid 250, but I had to stop due to side effects. My acne has now resolved, but I am still bothered by pigmentation and acne scars. I undergo regular cleanups and peel treatments at a salon, but the results are slow. Could you please suggest effective ways to treat the pigmentation and scarring? I have attached pictures for reference.

Post acne pigmentation takes time. Use dermatologist prescribed creams (e.g. azelaic acid or kojic acid). Avoid harsh salon peels. Gentle skincare, sunscreen, and patience are key.
