Brief Answer:
Acne and pigmentation

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

You seem to have acne and post acne hyperpigmentation on back. I suggest you to use a benzoyl peroxide 5% gel for acne once daily after bath. At night you may use a kogic acid 2% cream for post acne marks.

Hope I have answered your query.Let me know if you need any more assistance
