The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is Acne vulgaris with pigmentation. Avoid melalite cream as it contains steroid and it can aggrevate acne.Topical medications like clindamycin can be applied over the affected area. Topical benzoyl proxide can also be used at night time.Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
