Your skin concerns are mainly due to irritation from using strong creams without medical guidance and squeezing pimples, which has led to marks. These marks often improve with time and proper care, though it may take some patience. For now, stop using strong products on your own, avoid touching or squeezing pimples, follow a gentle routine with a mild cleanser, non comedogenic moisturizer, and daily sunscreen, and consult a dermatologist who can guide you with a safe, tailored treatment plan along with diet and lifestyle advice to support healthy skin recovery.

🏥 Identify and stop irritants

Stop using azelaic acid 20% (Aziderm), halo skin tint, and any other new topicals until skin calms.
Avoid squeezing or peeling pimples further — this causes the lasting dark marks you describe.

🏥 Gentle cleansing

Use a mild, fragrance‑free cleanser once or twice daily with lukewarm water; pat skin dry.
Do not scrub, use alcohol toners, or exfoliate while irritated.

🏥 Moisturizing

Apply a non‑comedogenic, fragrance‑free moisturizer (look for ceramides, glycerin or niacinamide).
Use a light gel if oily, a cream if dry; moisturize after cleansing and before sunscreen.

⚕️ Sun protection

Use broad‑spectrum sunscreen SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 30+ every morning and reapply if outdoors; mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide are less irritating.
Avoid makeup (like halo tint) until the skin heals to prevent new breakouts.

🏥 Avoid shaving irritation

Pause shaving until inflammation settles. If you must shave, use a clean single‑blade razor, shaving gel, shave gently with hair growth, and moisturize afterwards.

🩺 When to see a dermatologist

See a dermatologist if marks or breakouts do not improve after 2–3 weeks, or to discuss safe treatments for dark marks (topical/light procedures).
Seek urgent care or call Apollo Emergency - 1066 if you develop spreading redness, increasing pain, pus, fever, or swollen lymph nodes.

🩺 FOLLOW_UP

When did you last apply Aziderm and the halo tint, and are any spots currently open, oozing, or very painful?

If you want, I can explain options to lighten dark marks and safe topical choices in more detail.
