Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand that you are having comedones and acne scars, along with black mole like lesions.
If the comedones are not responding to topical gels, you may benefit from getting comedone extraction procedure done by a dermatologist. This will hasten the clearance of the lesions. You could continue the gels you are currently using while you do this procedure.
Acne scars can be treated by procedures like microneedling and lasers. However, this can be started only after the active acne has cleared.
The black, mole like spots on the face could be lesions called as " Dermatosis papillosa nigra". This can be removed by electrocautery procedure done by a dermatologist.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
