Depends...: ..On depth of scar. Many times, pimples won't scar. In more severe cases, the scar can be deep enough to exist forever. Also depends on area of body. Chest heals differently than face.

A few options: Skin bleaching with various agents or peels may help as well as resurfacing techniques depending on he exact nature of the discoloration which may benefit from glycolic acids peels, hydroquinone, kojic acids, etc. Ipl, lasers or microdermabrasion or dermabrasion are also options, avoid sun exposure while being treated.
