Hi,

Welcome to XXXXXXX and thanks for your query.
The description fits with post infective or post inflammatory scarring.
However, it is wise to show it to urologist/dermatologist to come to a conclusion.
Hope this helps. Kindly revert back for doubts if any.
Wishing you good health.

Can you recommend any medication? Currently, I have applied Fucidin cream around the area and it has improves but the black spots still there.
Is it any serious problem in the long run?

Your reply is much appreciated.

Hi
Welcome back.
These spots are usually not serious except for the color change.
Liquid paraffin meant for skin use may be beneficial if applied locally.
To come to a diagnosis, pls consult a dermatologist.
