Can I use Triben B cream to lighten the marks left behind after recovering from a fungal infection? I've been using Clobetamil G as my doctor prescribed, but I'm curious if Triben B might help with the discoloration or marks. What do you think?

I've got this boil on my back and I tried using a belladonna plaster to draw out the pus, but after two days, there was no pus. Instead, the boil turned a little yellow and got a bit bigger.
