And one explain the difference between acne scars and dark spots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne scar pits: Acne typically causes pitted scars, these have a sharp edge or margin which casts shadows into the scar causing them to appear darker and more obvious. Dark spots are typically melanocytic nevi or moles where darkness is from pigment in the cells of the mole.
