A member asked:
How much time will acne scars/marks take to fade?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: Red marks are necessary for healing and fade in a few weeks. Brown marks may take a few months. Trying to fade them with hydroquinone is likely to make things actually look worse. Depressed scars are permanent but they can be made less visible by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon with a laser, microsurgery or injected filler.
