Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi... treatment of acne depends on the severity of the lesions. As you described it is of moderate severity you should take oral antibiotics like azithromycin 500 mg thrice a week continuously for 12 weeks. Along with it you should use topical clindamycin at morning time and topical retinoid at bed time. This treatment you have to continue for three months.
For tinea versicolor take tab fluconazole 400 mg stat and topical candid TV lotion daily 10-15 minutes prior to bath. this treatment you have to take for 3 weeks.
Hope this post is helpful to you..
Thanks
