What to do about fading dark post acne spots?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Leave them alone: These take some time to heal naturally, but if you use a bleaching cream like hydroquinone, you're likely to end up making a mess and looking worse than before. The key is managing your disease so that new lesions do not occur. If topical benzoyl peroxide isn't working well by two weeks, get with your personal physician.

See a dermatologist: You may have 1 in your clinic. First control the acne. Tretinoin gel helps acne and reduces post-inflammatory pigmentation. You may need much more.
