Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have facial acne with dark spots, oily skin and sensitivity which occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You should wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. Apply Clindamycin gel and Benzoyl peroxide containing gel over the acne. Avoid any steroid based cream and apply kojic acid containing cream over face twice a day. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-abrasion and chemical peeling. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course. You should apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
