Had Rashes On Buttocks. Applied Anti Acne, Acetic Acid With Water. Rash Dried Leaving Scars. Any Medication For Reducing Spots?

Hi, 2 weeks ago I developed rashes on my butt area. I suspected it to be hot tub rash since i recently went to vacation. I applied some anti acne products to have it peeled easily but it got worse. I also tried applying 1 part of acetic acid with 3 parts of water, it eventually dried but the area has darkened like burn scars . Is there an over the counter cream that could lessen the spots?Thank you.

since your rash is already gone and there is no other signs like itching at present,it is better to wait and watch ,since most scars fade away with time,anyhow if you want to apply you can try eumosone cream ,along with moisturisers only for 1 to 2 weeks.
