What Could Black Spots After Using Neosporin For Itchy Fluid Filled Blisters On Tailbone Be?

Hello. I had small cluster of very itchy fluid filled blisters on the Tailbone between the buttocks for almost 3-4 weeks. I wasn t sure what it was as I never had it before, so I applied Neosporin off and on. And then it healed and turned black and the black s here to stay and won t fade. What is it?

Hi

You seem to have developed post inflammatory pigmentation.
Such s skin pigmentation can develop after any kind of skin problem .
To decrease the pigmentation,you can use a lightening agent like kojic acid over the affected areas twice daily .
Avoid rubbing the affected areas.
