Time: You might have squeezed them too hard causing the change in your skin. It should get better with time. Just be patient and try not to bother the area too much.

Acne Scars: Picking at acne or blackheads can leave behind hyperpigmentation, another term for darker areas of skin. The best way to prevent this is to not irritate any acne of blackheads that you have. To help the marks that are already there, avoid the sun. There are also several prescription medications that can help fade dark spots.
