Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acne and dark spots on face which are increasing day by day, i would suggest you to start with acne treatment first and then that of dark spots. You should use a topical antibacterial e.g clindamycin or benzoyl peroxide gel just as a spot treatment for active acne during day time.At night you may use a topical retinoid e.g Adapalene gel, over the whole affected area. Apply epiduo cream in night keep it for an hour and wash your face. Apply dew soft moisturiser and sleep. After bath apply suncote gel. Carry on
with this regimen for a month you will get improvement. If your symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
