Sometimes acne is hormonal in nature and controlling the hormones, if possible, is the way to go. Impossible of course during pregnancy. Non-pregnant patients may need a variety of medications including antibiotics. A dermatologist should evaluate this. The scars may respond to dermabrasion.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
