Hi, I had really tiny bumps all over my face specially in my t-zone and I thought they were pimples and I consulted a dermatologist for it. So she prescribed a benzoyl peroxide wash and tretinoin cream. After I started using it, I started getting actual pimples like those painful under the skin bumpy ones and now they have left dark spots on my face. On researching I got to know those tiny bumps were malassezia folliculitis and I applied a cream containing ketoconazole in it. Now those tiny bumps are all cured now but those spots remain. There is no scarring. How do I lighten those spots? What should I use to lighten it? Please help!

No. Treatment depends on the grade. Acne or pimples. Due to hormonal changes. Oily skin causes it. Common in adolescent age. May occur in adults also. Food like oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne. So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
