Hi there,
You have a simple acne vulgaris problem and both your doctors have given correct treatment. for the marks to get cleared you can take chemical peels. Food and pimple there is no direct relation. If you are having a flare of acne just before periods, check for PCOD. A simple ultrasound scan will help.
Take care.
Hope this helps you,
