Need names: Need to know the names of the medication to determine whether these will help or not. However, it can take 2-3 months for the acne treatment to show full effect. Hope this helps!

Hyoerpigmentation!: Usually indicates a dirty wound. Self excoriation is a major cause! Scratching while sleeping is common. You may need Rx with both H1 and H2 drugs!

Managing acne: Hyperpigmentation often follows the inflammation of acne or other inflammatory skin disorders. Acne on the trunk almost always requires a mix of systemic and topical treatment, and if it's severe, you may have to go the tough-guy route and use isotretinoin if it's offered to you. Best wishes.
