Skin getting darker (tanned) in the sun is something natural for all of us Indians as we are type III-V skin types (i.e. we all tan but rarely burn even on intense sunexposure). Many a times we discount trips to office or market while giving a history of sunexposure. Please clarify what clothes do you generally wear( Full sleeved shirts/half-sleeved shirt etc) and your colour before you became dark. Are you on any medications for any disease? Where exactly do you get pimples/boils on your face and your age, occupation etc. need to be known before giving correct advice. Please reply to these simple questions and I shall be in a better position to help you out.
