Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand from your description that you are having oily skin, pimple marks as well as some black lines on your face.
The black lines on your face could be due to oily skin ( seborrhoeic melanosis) or due to a pigmentation problem called melasma.
You will benefit from using a gel based sunscreen containing SPF 30 or above every 4 hours.
Use a gel containing 2% Kojic acid and Vitamin C at bedtime on the black lines and pimple spots.
You could get glycolic acid based peels done by a dermatologist which will help in giving a clear complexion.
Drink plenty of water and have fruits and vegetables.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
