Two questions: (1) Topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated will clear mild acne and is the basis to which your physician may add a prescription-strength Rx. (2) Don't do it other than using sunscreen. Bleaches can disfigure you and here in the US where trends are set, wanting to change skin color is considered the height of ignorance. Cherish what Nature gave you; it's you & those who love you won't want change.

Skin tone: is mostly genetically determined. Methods to avoid sun exposure such as applying sunscreen 30 minutes prior to exposure and re-applying every 4 hours can help maintain the fairest skin possible for you. Look for a sunscreen that is 'non-comedogenic' to help prevent more outbreaks.
