Took Medicine For Acne And Got Post Acne Hyper-pigmentation. Is This Hormonal Imbalance?

I have seen your snaps. There are multiple small scars and hyperpigmentation.
Acne has two causes either hormonal imbalance or dust. Hormonal imbalance will gradually fade away with age. Also recurring acne will go away. You are taking appropriate treatment at present.
Cause of hyperpigmentation is mostly you are using benzoyl peroxide for longer and excess use. Scarring is possibly the result of hand or manual pricking of acne.
I will advise don't prick pimples, wash face regularly, have good sleep and non spicy food, eat lot of fruits. Once again visit your skin specialist for dose management of drugs. Underweight is not a problem for acne. It will gradually increase as you start gaining weight.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have further concern, please let me know.
Regards.
