I've got a bunch of white spots where i had acne. are they going to fade away?

Yes: Postinflammatory depigmentation heals up in a few months. It's most important that you address you acne now, with your physician's help. It's not related to hygiene, diet, habits or lifestyle. If topical benzoyl peroxide hasn't cleared you in a few weeks, you'll need prescription-strength Rx.
