Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent acne and dark spots on face which occurs because of infection of bacteria when clogged pores gets filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Excessive exposure to sun is the other factor responsible for your condition. Doctor prescribed you rights et of medications need not to worry. You should use product containing benzoyl peroxide. You should apply sun screen Such as TAN CARE rich in SPF 26. Drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. You should apply aloe vera gel on scars and apply vitamin E oil on face at night before going to bed. Apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. You should wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course .

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you persistent acne and dark spots on face, Well there can be many reasons for pimples like stress , hormonal changes and excessive sun exposure . Excessive oil production and clogging of sebaceous gland duct are also one of the reasons . Sometimes creams prescribed for pimples contain steroids which should not be use for long time so consult dermatologist before using any cream . I would suggest you to wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide and then apply cream containing azelaic acid which is good for pimples as well as for hyperpigmentation . Also apply vitamin E oil at night . If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocyclin .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
