One of the many troubles with pimples is the scars and marks left behind even after they have gone away. The scarring can make the skin uneven, with irregular depressions where the tissue has been damaged. Deep pimple scars and marks can often cause a lot of anxiety. While there are some home remedies you can try out, you may have to adopt special medical or surgical treatment if they are too deep or prominent. Consult a dermatologist and ask for medical advice if the skin scars and blemishes show no sign of going away. The uneven surface of skin is usually a result of pimples that have been squeezed or tampered with. It is therefore essential to leave the pimples alone, and not scratch, squeeze, or poke them. Squeezing the pimples can lead to permanent damage of tissues, which later leaves behind deep scars. Therefore, when you suffer from pimples, it is necessary to take care and heal them properly, so as to minimize the chances of getting scars and blemishes.

Meanwhile, here are some natural remedies that can help you deal with pimple scars. Take sandalwood powder and gram powder and mix them with water to make a paste. Apply this paste on your face and leave it overnight, and then wash it off in the morning. You can also make a paste of sandalwood with rose water and milk, and apply on your face similarly. Rub your face with cucumber juice; it is known to lighten the skin blemishes. Slices of tomato can also be rubbed on the skin to cleanse the skin. It is also recommended that you use some vitamin E-enriched oil, like almond oil, regularly on your face. Almond oil provides the essential nutrients to the skin, repairs damaged skin, and helps fight skin scars. Washing your face regularly with aloe vera gel can also prove beneficial to deal with pimple scars. A face pack of Fuller's earth can be helpful too. Apply this paste on your face to treat rejuvenate the skin. Similarly, applying yoghurt or milk creams are also beneficial for the skin. The black spots left behind by pimples can also be treated with lemon juice. Regular and prolonged use of lemon juice helps the black spots to fade away. While following the remedies herein you should, however, have a realistic expectation. Bear in mind that deep acne scars are formed due to permanent damage of skin tissues and hence it is unlikely that you can regain your skin texture in a short time. And severely damaged skin may not recover with any natural remedies at all. The only option for them is to get into surgical methods.
