I've been dealing with acne and pimple breakouts for the past 5 years, and thankfully they have finally stopped. But now I'm left with a face full of scars, acne marks, and discoloration. What can I do to even out my skin tone and maybe reduce these marks and scars?

Question

I've got these small holes and some redness on my skin because of pimples. They aren't really noticeable unless you're pretty close, like 5 feet away or less. I'm currently using a cream with hq 2 vv. Do you think I should reach out to a doctor for this, or will it just get better on its own over time? Can you take a look at my skin in the pictures and maybe suggest something?

Question

I'm worried about my face getting so oily after being dry for so long. I've been dealing with regular breakouts and the pimples I get are mostly whiteheads, blackheads, and sometimes a few painful bumps. I've tried a bunch of different products to get rid of them, but nothing really seems to work. I don't have a ton of pimples, just around 8 to 10, and I do use makeup as well. Could you suggest a routine that might help keep my face clear of zits?

Question

I've been dealing with some really weird lip issues. It started with my lips swelling from top to bottom, and after a few days, they went back down. But then, they started darkening and eventually turned completely black. Now they're super dry and chapped and sometimes burn depending on what I put on them. I'm really not sure what's going on or what to do about it. Can you help me figure this out?
