hi i think ketoconazole ointment only cures the fungal infection but it will not remove the post inflammatory hypo or hyperpigmentation.it will subside by its own within months or sometimes ketoconazole with betamethasone can be used to decrease the pigmentation.sometimes in tinea versicolor even the pigmentation is cured with ketoconazole ointment
