It is a consequence of the closure of the openings in the skin due to the accumulation of sebum and dead skin cells. This will cause pimples on the face more so during the teenage years. Gently cleansing the face with a non-irritating cleanser twice a day. Do not squeeze or prick. If severe acne is the case, you should consult a dermatologist for appropriate treatments.

Not taking proper food for so long can damage your body severely. The symptoms you talked about, for instance, your constant feeling cold and desire for hot water all the time, could indicate you are suffering from something serious such as malnutrition or damaged organs. You are supposed to go to specialists for diagnosed tests and treatments. You have to understand that it's not too late to get good treatment and work towards being healthy.

I am having dull and dehydrated skin and dark spots.. Since 3 years I have pimple on nose later I poped it and it turned out to be a dark spot on my nose ???? ..

It seems like your skin is dry and lacks brightness; besides the pimple scars on your nose. Skin becomes dull due to lack of water in it. Spots get darker as a result of spots. Drink water and wash your face regularly using mild soap then apply lotion too. In addition, you can wear sunscreen to prevent the darkening of these patches further.
