Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Persisting fungal infections also can give dark color. For this ointments with combination of antifungal like miconazole and corticosteroid like flucinolone will be helpful.
If still dark spots are there then using kojic acid or vitamin C based creams will be helpful. You can also use kojic acid soap for getting rid off dark spots.
Taking vitamin C and vitamin E orally also is helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
