Suggest Treatment For Acne And Black Discoloration On The Face

Probable post acne hyperpigmentation.Add photograph for better diagnosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, thanks for writing to healthcare magic.I can understand your concern.
In my opinion black spots are most probably due to healing of acne lesions.
This is known as post acne hyperpigmentation. The spots are more common if you have habit to rupture and squeeze active acne lesions.
However there are other possible causes also and it will be better if you add a photograph of your face.
Considering post acne hyperpigmentation, I will advise you to avoid squeezing acne lesions.
Use a good oil control soap or face wash.
Avoid using cosmetics and steroid creams like betnovate over face.
For dark spots you may apply kojic acid and vitamin c contaning cream like kojivit cream.
If you have active acne lesions you may apply clindamycin cream two to three times daily.
I hope this will help you.In case of any concern i will be happy to help you.Take care.
Thanks.
