As per your query you have problem of hyperpigmentation and cystiic acne . Well as you are taking supplements on this your should take advise of expert once as excess of vitamine is also not good . I would suggest you to wasg your skin soap containing benzoyl peroxide twice a day , apply cream containing azelaic acid on face for acne and cream containing koijic acid ( kojivit ) on skin having dark complexion that is on knees , armpits and feet. Consult dermatologist if condition doesn't get better . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( alindamycin )for acne ans recommend chemical peeling or laser therapy for dark complexion .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
