Brief Answer:
Can use demelan cream, no need to use lumacip plus cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime and apply adapelene gel on the pimples at night.
You can use demelan cream for your scars and pigmentation at night.
No need to use lumacip plus cream as it contains steroid which can aggravate acne.
You can also go for sessions of chemical peels. It will help both acne and scars.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
