Brief Answer:
You have pimples and hyperpigmentation
Detailed Answer:
Hi
In your after- photos it is seen that you have oily skin, hyperpigmentation, pimples.
First we need to take care of the pimples with measures as described below:
For a face wash that has neem and glycerine
Use clindamycin ointment on the pimples. Keep it applied overnight and wash your face. Moisturizer or cold cream should also have glycerine in them.
After using the above precautions for one week, next step would be to take care of the hyperpigmentation. You can apply a cream called kozimax cream at night over dark spots. Alternately you can use sulfur lotion over the dark spots. For both you will need a dermatologist's prescription. Fairness will come back but process is slow may take 2-3 months of treatment.
Other precautions that would be needed are:
Use a good sunscreen during day time.
Take a lot of Vit C in diet.
Avoid sun exposure.
Get an RO system for home which will give cleanest water.
Avoid any hydroquinone and steroid based creams as they may cause skin rashes.
Hope it helps.
