Skin problems regarding pimples
I have lot of pimples and pimple marks on my face. My complexion was fair but now it's getting darker day by day. It has become way too darker when compared to the complexion of my body. Someone suggested me to use coconut oil for the pimples. Am in doubt if that has made my skin darker or the use of bb cream

Acne are quite common in teenage due to hormonal fluctuations. They usually settle down by the age of 20-25 years once your hormones stabilize. Treatment should be initiated early so as to prevent scars and marks.
Next Steps
In mild acne, only creams are usually required while we give oral medicines in moderate to severe acne. You can consult me directly for detailed prescription and management.
