Now a days there are very good tablets available for pimples but should be taken under dermatologists supervision only.They can be either azithromycin or isotretinoin tab . Tab azithromycin (500mg) once daily for 3 days(take this tab 1 hr before food).Hormonal pimples can be treated with oral contraceptive pills .They are very effective and safe.All these needs blood test before taking them. For marks use retino A (0.025%) cream  at night only on the spot for 2 hrs then wash off . Donât forget to use a water based sunscreen like UVAVO daily full face so as to protect yourself from direct sunlight which ca increase your dark marks Along with this u need to take 10-12 glasses of water per day & a good sleep. .A chemical peel can also help reduce the marks .Get it done from an expert dermatologist only. regards,  Dr.Chawda
