I was using tretenoin acne medication for about 4 months on my forehead, 2months after i stopped using the medication i started to get tiny bumps which then turned into small pimples then went away but left dark spots, does anyone know why i get these black spots? thankyou help much appreciated.

What skin tone do you have? Darker skin types can have hyperpigmentation (melanin) problems.

Yes, my skin is darker, this might be the problem.
