Why Do I Have Some Weird Dark Circles On My Back Along With Back Acne?
Question: Hi I have some weird dark circles on my back that Ive never had before. I do not have back acne and they do not itch nor hurt.
Brief Answer:
Seems to be post inflammatory hyper pigmentation, apply depigmenting cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It seems to be post inflammatory hyper pigmentation secondary to folliculitis or acne from eruption.
I would recommend you to apply depigmenting cream containing hydroquinone 2 percent on the affected areas twice daily for 3-4 weeks.
This should resolve it.
