Hello,Thanks for writing to HCM
DARK CIRCLES- there are various reasons for dark cirlces like
1.stress or lack of sleep
2.inheritence from undereye pigmentation from family members
3.constant rubbing of eyes commonly seen in atopics(people with dry skin)
4.iron deficiency
5.thyroid abnormality
5.shadowing caused by due to less fat below lower lid.
6.thickening of skin along with darkness caused by condition called acanthosis nigricans.

I suggest you to check for above mentioned list.

ACNE--
1.face wash like FASH twice daily
2.use a sunscreen regulary with spf 30 atleast regularly.
3.topical preparation containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide at night followed 0ne hr of contact and a mosturizer
4.systemic antibiotics like T.AZITHROMYCIN 500MG once in a day for 3consecutive days in a week for 4 to 6wks.

LASTLY VERY IMPORTANT IS TO CHECK YOUR HORMONAL PROFILE AN USG PELVIS DONE TO LOOK FOR PCOS
