A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dermatologist helps: Acne is caused by skin pores being plugged by tiny clumps of skin cells (the clump is called a comedone). When there are no bumps or actual pimples and pustules, the acne-prone areas of skin will still have plugged pores. Maybe the black spots are comedones in the skin pores. Dark spots can also be post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that takes months or years to fade after pimples break and heal.
