Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query acne and dark spots on face is because hormonal change at particular age and this condition is recurrent. I would suggest you to start with acne treatment first and then that of dark spots. Use a topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during day time and at night you may use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel. Apply benzoyl gel as well. Drink plenty of water. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once. Dermabrasion, Fractional CO 2 Laser, Chemical peeling, Miocroabrasion are all recent methods of skin clearing. Apply mashed potatoes on face to lighten skin. Apply creams rich in kojic acid. Don't pick up acne as it will leave scars on face. Use sun screen cream rich in spf 30 such as TAN CARE. Use medicated soap such as metarub to wash face daily. Apply lip balm and moisturizer on lips. Don't lick lips. Your symptoms will resolve soon.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
