hello subba,
You seem to have postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.You can use topical Aziderm20%[Azelaicacid] by night over the spots.Aziderm is also a treatment for pimples.You can apply Benzoylperoxide cream and Aziderm cream on alternate days with topica Faceclin gel by day.Otherwise whatever treatment you followed for pimples is excellent.Use it for a month and report to me later.
