Hello,
You are suffering from pimples and dark spots on your face. To avoid getting pimples you should take healthy diet. What you eat can contribute to an increase in the pimples coming on your face. Avoid taking potato chips, French fries, doughnuts, pastries, and sugary drinks. Stay away from oily-greasy fast food and junk food. Avoid taking red meat and chicken for a couple of days to stop increased oil production on your face and skin. Do not take chocolates.
Taking vegetarian and vegan diet promote clear complexion. Sometimes, pimples occur due to dandruff. Keep your scalp clean. Use selsun shampoo regularly and keep your scalp and hair oiled with almond oil. Avoid stress. Take regular bath, wear loose fitting soft cotton clothes. Wash your face every time you sweat. Keep your skin clean with herbal face wash and apply scrub face masks.
A course of doxycycline - 100 mg will help to clear out pimples. You can also use skin ointments containing clindamycin and erythromycin. Apply it on the affected areas. Ointment Kamedis acne spot treatment, can also be applied. It is effective.
To get rid of dark spots, you can apply ointment No mark at day time and ointment Betnovate C on the affected area at bed time regularly for 10-12 days. It will help to reduce dark spots and give a radiant look. If you need a clear complexion is a short time then consult a dermatologist. Laser treatment and peels, retinoid solutions, chemical exfoliators are also helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
