Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have combination skin i.e oily and sensitive due to which you have acne, dark pigmentation and facial growth. Well facial hair growth could be increased due to usage of melalite cream as that contains steroid and long term use can cause this. I would suggest you to use a gentle cleanser for face wash, twice daily. Topically you can use an antibacterial gel e.g clinadmycin 1% gel or benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel for active acne. At night I would suggest that you use a topical retinoid. Drink plenty of water. Avoid touching or squeezing of pimples. Always use a sunscreen (SPF> 26) when going out in the sun. You should avoid facial cosmetics like moisturizers, sunscreen etc as they are common cause for acne flare in those who have oily skin.I suggest you to visit a dermatologist. Your dermatologist will assess the severity of your acne and advice accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
