Hi
These black spots when have you noted these ?
Did they occur at about the same time as that of the acne or is it present after the acne has resolved?
Black spots associated with acne, may be due to a postinflammatory skin reaction secondary to the acne. Acne may cause scarring and darkening of the affected areas. This may be readily managed using vitamin E creams and bleaching creams given that the acne has resolved and there are no breaks on the skin. Does this apply to what you have?
