Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic Your main concern is acne and post acne hyperpigmentation (PIH), which is common complication of acne in skin of color Treatment of acne mainly revolves around topical antibacterials like clindamycin, nadifloxacin; topical benzoyl peroxide; topical retinoids. Topical antibacterials and benzoyl peroxide are antiinflammatory and benzoyl peroxide is keratolytic as well. Topical retinoids are comedolytic in action. Cleansing should be gentle with a neutral pH cleanser and should not leave behind your skin dry. Oral antibacterials e.g Azithromycin Or Doxycycline may be started in your case since you seem to have inflammatory acne. Oral retinoids are also an option for you. Oral retinoids are indicated for moderately severe to severe inflammatory acne Or acne resistant to traditional antiacne medicines Or acne associated with significant scaring. When you visit your dermatologist, your doctor will be able to assess the severity of your acne and guide you accordingly. You may also opt for a few sessions of chemical peeling from your treating dermatologist. Salicylic acid peel is particularly good for acne. Regards
