Suggest Treatment For Residual Black Spots On Legs

I have black spots on my legs since I was 11, now I am 33. The process of the formation of the spot is - First I would develop a pimple, little translucent, after some days I could see something light black in that translucent pimple, after that it would become a spot. After so many years this process has not stopped. I still have active pimples and cant tell you how much itching I face!! Have some lighter spots on arms, back and abdomen too. Please help. Regards

Hi.
As per your case history, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild topical steroid cream like mometasone cream on the lesions twice daily.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for itching.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
