Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern.

This is common problem among teetns . Acne occur when clogged pores of sebaceous glang get infected due entrapped dead skin and bacteria . Oily skin is very prone to acne . Dark patches around lips must be due to excessive sun exposure .

I eould suggest you to :-

Wash your face twice a day with cold water and facewash containing benzoyl peroxide .

Exfoliated your skin twice a week to remove the dead skin.

Apply ' kojic acid cream ' twice a days for hyperpigmentation .

Apply cold compresses to skin several times a day .

Also apply aloe vera cream at night .

If condition persist or doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis .

Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin or steroid ointments for acne .

Doctor may prescribe topical retinoids or recommend procedure like chemical peeling and laser therapy for hyper pigmentation .

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
