The top of my goatee is bleached from acne medicine ("clear and clear" or something). It makes it look bad, but I can't shave it. What should I do? Will it grow back darker? Is there something I can put on it to make it dark permanently?

Well first of all you probably will wanna stop using that acne medication, because anything thats intense enough to bleach out your facial hair can't possibly be good for your skin. Try another product. As for the bleached spot, provided you stop using that medication, it should grow back and be it's natural color, but for the time being you could try purchasing a dye, there are products on the market such as Just For Men, and they offer facial hair dye.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

It will grow back the normal color. As long as you use acne products with hydrogen peroxide, the hair will continue to get bleached though. Try switching to an acne product with salicylic acid instead. As for the current problem - the best solution would be to let a stylist color it for you. The practical solution would be grocery store hair dye for men. Go with the temporary dye since it's hard to be sure of the color. The hair will also grow back before you know it.

since you don't want to shave it off, you can use black/ brown hair bleach, whichever matches yours till your beard grows. once you start growing your original colored beard, then shave into a nice , proper goatee.
good luck
PS: bleach is not permanent, so you need not worry.
