The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.

Kindly consult for further for better treatment options.

Treating acne is the 1st thing I would advise for you so that no more pigmentation develops. I suppose that you touch your acne frequently as that is one reason for pigmentation to develop. I need pictures and detailed history to advise you further.
Next Steps
use sunscreens.
