Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
Please do not call a doctor who is treating you "idiot". No doctor will deliberately try to make your condition worse, he is trying to help. Peroduo is a gel given for pimples and in some it can cause irritation if you leave it on the skin for long time.
What you are having now is an irritant reaction and post inflammatory pigmentation. Sunlight will make it worse, so avoid sunlight and use a gel form of sunscreen like suncros aquagel or suncote gel. You may apply kojic acid containing gel like kojivit gel twice a day over the black mark. Do not touch the mark, more you touch, more black it will become. For active pimples you may apply a gel containing clindamycin twice a day.
Hope this helped
Take care
