Hi XXXXXXX
thanks for writing to us.
Acne in your case can be managed by these suggestions
1) take an oral antibiotic like doxycycline or azithromycin and/ or oral isotretinoin . As you are still having acne in mid thirties, a course of oral contraceptives with these medicines will help too. Isotretinoin is a wonder drug for acne but when a female is taking it, pregnancy is contraindicated.
2) use anti acne soap like acne star ls or benzosoft or personal for bathing
3) Apply clindamycin gel two times in a day and adapalene gel in night over affected area.
dark marks post acne can be best managed by hydroquinone 2 percent cream application and Glycolic acid peels
You may follow these for three weeks to a month to see if response is satisfactory. As these are prescription drugs, please consult a dermatologist nearby for prescription.
I would be in better position to assist if you could upload images of affected area clearly showing acne and dark spots
Should there be a doubt, please write back.
Take care
