Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to use a salicylic acid facewash twice daily and apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5 percent gel on the pimples twice daily.

Besides this I would recommend you to take capsule Doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime for atleast 6 weeks.
For pigmentation around the chin and lips I would recommend you to use cream containing kojic acid on the affected areas twice daily and sunscreen gel on the entire face at intervals of 3-4 hours during the day time.

Besides this keep your face dry, avoid applying oily creams and moisturisers, avoid oiling of scalp, use cosmetics labelled as no-ncomedogenic and reduce the intake of sugary foods.

This treatment needs to be continued for a long time under the supervision of the doctor.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
