Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . The acne are very common problem for those having oily skin. The dark spots on skin and lip are post inflammatory hyper pigmentation.

The pigmentation is produce by excess production of melanin by melanocytes .

I would suggest you to .

- Wash your face with facewash containing benzoyl peroxide twice a days with cold water.

- Exfoliate facial skin once a week to remove dead skin.

- Apply azelaic acid cream both for dark spots and acne twice daily.

- Apply aloe vera gel at night .

If condition persist even after month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , steroid drugs (oral/topical) or isoteritenoin.

Doctor may also recommend laser therapy or chemical peeling for dark spots .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
