How can i get rid of ugly brown spots that are left behind from pimples?

Time: Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation goes away in a couple of months. If you are hard-core you can experiment with over-the-counter hydroxyquinone creams. Most people would probably say this is not worth the trouble and nuisance, but it's your decision.

IPL/ cosmetic laser: You can also use hydroquinone cream. Definitely see a physician to help you select the right treatment.
