Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have facial spots with blemishes which occur due to blocked ducts of sebaceous glands . Dead skin and bacteria entrapped inside cause infection and the dark spots after acne are post inflammatory hyper pigmentation. I would suggest you to wash your face with face wash containing salicylic acid , which is very effective for acne. You should start with use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during day time. Apply kojic acid cream after washing your face. Apply vitamin C serum at night. Protect your skin from sun exposure. If condition persist even after a month the consult dermatologist . Doctor may recommend techniques like laser therapy and dermabrasion for dark spots and prescribe antibiotics , retinoids and tretinoin for acne .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
