Hi! welcome to HCM and thanks for your post!
In any medical or skin clinic your problem is common with many more and I'm sorry to say that black spots appear when acne vulgaris is partially treated or some residual inflammation continues in the background causing deposition of melanin...
It is fairly treatable a condition and most spots go away with time but I would suggest you change over to some newer alternative or to see a dermatologist for appropriate medication and anything else if needed!
