Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Perhaps the dark color change is the result of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation due to irritation from face wash or anti-acne medication. I suggest you to change to a gentle cleanser, e.g., Cetaphil gentle cleansing lotion for washing your face, twice daily. You may also try a Kojic acid-based cream for skin lightening.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S.
