How To Prevent Dark Marks Around The Mouth Before Having Periods?

Hi, Ive been getting a few cystic pimples a few days before my period and I have a lot of dark marks from that around the sides of my mouth and closer to the jawline. What can I do to prevent them? I have Combination/oily skin. I think it is hormonal acne and I have recently started taking Zinc supplements in addition to my multi vitamins which I take daily. Please help.

Thank you for sharing your query on Healthcaremagic, I have carefully worked through your case and you are doing great taking the zinc and multivitamin, I recommend you wash your face with a deep pore cleanser such as benzoyl peroxide if it's infected you can apply a topical antibiotic 2 times Day, use a natural soap and avoid aggressive scrubbing, watch your diet and drink enough water, do not manipulate the pimples and keep an excellent hygiene when the infection is gone you can start to treat the scar, mederma cream have an amazing results. I hope that my advice has been helpful,take care
