How to remove mild dark spots left by acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dark spots from Acne: This is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Your best bet is careful daily sunscreen use, sun protection and time. The dark spots will generally fade, but may take up to a year, even with good sun protective behavior.
