​Thanks for the query. Black spots could mean many things.​​ I assume what you mean is probably post acne pigmentation or post inflammatory pigmentation. Targeting t​​hrough a single agent may not always be fruitful. Meet a qualified Dermatologist to learn more about the diagnosis and treatment options. ​​Combination of different therapeutic agents is always beneficial. There are multiple depigmenting creams which helps. Hope it helps. Dr MK Agarwala Dermatologist
