Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I understand your concern.
Going by your issues you need treatment in 2 steps.
1.Acne prevention and dark spot correction.
2.Skin complexion treatments.
Dark spots are healed pimple scars.
For Acne management-I generally treat my patients with oral tablets of Doxycycline(for pimples) and Azelex cream(for dark spots) I suggest you to please see a doctor if his/her views are same and if they can prescribe these drugs for you.
For skin complexion -treatments can be
1.Natural 2.Cosmetic procedures.
Cosmetic procedures include-Micropore Dermabrasion and Melanocyte ablation+/- cryoablation.These procedures are costly and may require 2-3 sittings.
Homeopathy proved disappointing in many cases.
Initially, I advise you to follow natural methods for 3-6 months, if not satisfied proceed towards cosmetic procedures.
Natural measures with best outcomes include the following.
1.Tomatoes are the best source of anti-aging antioxidants lycopene. Eating any tomato-based foods such as sauce or tomato juice can help improve the skin’s complexion.
2.Almonds help retain water in your body as dehydrated skin appears rough and wrinkly. Eating almonds soaked overnight or consuming almonds as they are is good for a healthy appearance.
3.Berries such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or blueberries are all loaded with vitamin C, which is essential for healthy skin. Consuming berries will make your skin look younger and protect from inflammation.
4.Bananas are rich in vitamin A, B, and E and hence work as an anti-aging agent. The fruit, when mixed with honey, gives an instant glow for your skin.
