I have brownish spots from picking at acne. what are some ways to make them go away? any good products? how long does it take to fade?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydroquinone: The spots are from your acne itself, not picking, despite what anybody who's criticized you may way. This is postinflammatory pigmentation and will fade in time. You can use a hydroquinone bleach cream on the spots but don't overdo it or you'll get a bad result.
