Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Low hemoglobin as such has no correlation with acne but it can lead to dark circles.
Acne treatment consists of oral and/or topical therapy depending on severity of lesion. Topical therapy can be started as adapalene benzoyl peroxide gel application only over acne lesions once in night( epiduo gel). If lesions are too many and not responding to creams alone then oral drugs like azithromycin/ doxycycline/ isotretinoin should be started under doctor's guidance.
For dark circles, continue your iron tablets till Hb normalises. Avoid stress and visual strain. Apply a Kojic acid and vitamin c based cream.
Hope that helped
