The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is Acne vulgaris with pigmentation. Avoid pricking or fiddling with the lesion.Short course of oral antibiotic like azithromycin might be helpful. Topical antibiotic creams like clindamycin may also be used. Topical tretinoin can also be used at night. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
