Hello,
Thank you for posting
The dark spots you are reffering to is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Apply a cream containing clobetasol and fusidic acid twice a day regularly and apply a good quality moisturiser.
Take antihistaminics as required for the itching.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
