Hi,

Acne or pimples can occur due to a number of causes and Oily skin is one of the common causes of Acne. On the other hands dark or black spots left on face seems to be due to Post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation that occurs due to pimples. Panderm plus is not appropriate for the same. You should consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing face wash. Apply topical ointment containing Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide. Apply retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples at night time.

Do cool compresses over face. Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin. You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun. Oral Medication like antibiotics like Clindamycin or Minocycline and retinoid like Isotretinoin can also be advised. Avoid oily food. For dark spots apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin. Vitamin E gel can be applied at night. Azelic acid preparations are helpful. You can also go for treatment like microdermabrasion and chemical peeling.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora, Dentist
