I don't have any drug allergy, no coffee, tea.
Hi Sayee,
Thanks for writing to us.
The black dots on your face look like moles or acquired melanocytic nevi and dermatosis papulosis nigra( DPN). These can be removed by electro cautery and can recur again. Hence if you are having these you need to get these removed again.
As far as pigmentation around nose and mouth is concerned it could be genetic, due to atopy, seborrheic dermatitis or nutritional deficiency like scalp or flakiness over face, any history of allergic rhinitis, asthma, any deficiency, history of thyroid disorder etc.
Kindly answer these queries and we may continue our discussion here.
Regards

Hi Sayee,
Your basic problem seems to be of oily skin which makes your skin look dull and dark.
To treat the same
Use a salicylic acid based face wash like saslic or neutrogena
Always use water based moisturiser and sunscreen meant for oily skin. You may use neutrogena or Clinique products
Wash your hair with shampoo meant for oily scalp alternate days.
Use kojic acid based cream over face in morning
Use Glycolic acid 12 percent cream in night alternating it with tretinoin gel in microspheres like nexret in night( eg Monday Glycolic acid, Tuesday nexret Wednesday Glycolic again and so on).
Take oral vitamin c supplement daily.
For your moles and DPNs you need to book an appointment with doctor to get them removed.
Hope that answers your query. Take care
