Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne and skin darkening which is because hormonal change at particular age and this condition is recurrent. Dark spots are due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I would suggest you to start with acne treatment first and then that of skin darkening. You should go with the treatment prescribed to you as that will be little time taking. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once. Dermabrasion, Fractional CO 2 Laser, Chemical peeling,Miocroabrasion are all recent methods of skin clearing. Don't pick up acne as it will leave scars on face. Drink plenty of water. Apply mashed potatoes on face to lighten skin. Donot prick these spots.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
