Hi, thanks for posting your query.

You seem to have developed post inflammatory hypo pigmentation after pityriasis rosea. You may stop using HHzone cream as it being a steroid cream, it may lead to hypo pigmentation.
You may continue applying aqua soft cream.
It may take about 2-3 months to regain pigmentation.

The red spots on feet are probably due to some other condition as pityriasis rosea does not occur on the feet.
It may be contact dermatitis or allergy for which you may apply HHzone cream.

Hope this solves your query.
