Thank you for email. I have sent you the photographs.

Is benzoyl peroxide only applied on pimples or can I apply them on dark spots as well?

Brief Answer:
Start using medication

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have not received the photographs yet however you can start using the medication.
You have to apply benzoyl peroxide on acne lesions.
Once fresh lesions are controlled I can suggest you medication for spots.
Reduce oil intake in diet and take lot of water.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up and photographs.
These black spots are not pimples.
I had thought that you have acne lesions on face.
Benzoyl peroxide will not help in this.
Please give me additional information
1. Since when you have these dark spots ?
2. Which all parts of body are involved?
3. Are you having any symptoms such as pain or itch?
4. Are these black spots present only on hairy areas such as legs and hand ?
5. Do you use hair remover or waxing ?
6. Have these lesions incresed slowly in size like they started as a small mole and then progressed?
Kindly answer the above so I can help you better.
Thank you.

Can you count how many such lesions you have developed in past 3 years ?
Do they appear and remain as such or increase in size or do they disappear on their own.

Hi,
I have 5 of them. They don't disappear or increase in their size. They are as it is from day one.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the follow up.
If there is no increase in number or size then there is nothing to worry.
These appear to be simple moles and can be removed by using radiofrequency ablator.
You can visit a dermatologist and get them removed.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
