Hi,
The rash could be a folliculitis or miliaria (prickly heat). The dark spot could be due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
I would advise you to consult your Dermatologist for management of both the initial rash and the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
