Acne Mark: Acne isn't the only thing that can cause discolored skin marks. Other dark spots and types of skin hyperpigmentation can come from aging, sun damage, and even using birth control pills. To help them go away faster, wear sunscreen consistently, you can also consider using prescription retinoids, like differin, retin-a, or tazorac, (tazarotene) chemical peels, lasers, and microdermabrasions from a dermatologist.
