Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Acne is notorious for leaving behind post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
For acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation involving the back, I would suggest you to use a benzoyl peroxide gel, twice daily OR you could also use a Benzoyl peroxide creamy wash (Brevoxyl creamy wash) once daily at the time of bath.
Benzoyl peroxide is an excellent topical antiacne medication and is also a bleaching agent, therefore would take care of both acne as well as post-acne marks.
Regards
