Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Depending on your skin type, your acne may be resolving with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation ("blemishes"). It is also possible that your OTC acne regimen is too abrasive or irritating the skin which may be exacerbating the acne or contributing to the dyspigmentation. I recommend making an appointment with a board certified dermatologist so an acne regimen can be tailored to your individual condition.
