Hi m, the juice of tomatoes can irritate a damaged skin. Since acne damage the skin, tomato has irritated your skin and turn it black. Similarly tooth paste application,(popularly believed to reduce acne) can turn your skin black. These stains later on become difficult to reduce. Stop the application of tomato. You will need a proper course of medication to reduce the acne and the spots. Will you please send a picture of your skin so that I can judge the severity of acne and suggest the most appropriate medication for you.
