Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I would recommend Melapads and Melarase creams to reduce the visibility of your scars and reduce breakouts. Ematrix RF will help with acne scars.  Best, Dr. Karamanoukian@kareplasticsurgery on Instagram

Zinc oxide will not heal a scar or lessen redness .If these are scars a tria of scar cream such as mederma scar cream would be good option.
