Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You suffer from acne vulgaris and melanosis. For acne you may take minocycline daily, empty stomach for few weeks to few months along with vitamin C tablet at night. Apply clindamycin gel at night on acne lesions, do not rub. And cleanse the face with cetaphil lotion. And for melanosis, apply Kojic acid containing gel. Never use melacare as it contains notorious chemical hydroquinone. Avoid tension and worries. Avoid sun exposure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel
