Brief Answer:
Ora antibiotics and topical antiaacne cream/ gel

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

You seem to have quite a severe form of acne. I would suggest you to take an oral antiacne antbiotic e.g either Doxycycline 100mg twice daily or Minocycline 100mg once a day, for a few weeks (8-12 weeks). In addition to that I suggest you to use benzoyl peroxide 5% gel, twice daily. These are prescription antibiotics and topical products.

Take care

Regarding acne

Detailed Answer:
hi.
Thank you.
This cream is tretinoin 0.025% . it is not for dark spots. It is rather used for acne. But for the kind of acne he has I won't suggest this cream. He may use the remedy i suggested earlier. Acne is not directly linked to a particular diet but high calorie diets like sugary drinks, sweets, chocolates and other such things can cause a flare up
Take care.
