Your marks may be PIH-
PIH - post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation is seen after acne resolves. Most of the times, those who had acne or minor injuries, do not develop a visible scar but the skin on the healed area gets darkened. This is hyper-pigmentation. People with dark-colored skin develop spots in dark brown or black color while pale-skinned people develop red, purple or pink colored spots. The color resolves over time. Sometimes it may take about a year for the color to resolve. If you don't want to wait for long, use a skin bleach to bleach the dark color.

Types Of Acne Scars
Acne scars are of two types:
1. Scars that are formed by loss of tissue are called depressed scars.
2. Scars caused by increased tissue formation are called hypertrophic scars or keloids.
Note that every person has a different tendency of scar formation. Some people develop less scars, while others may have major scars for the same type of acne.
Depressed Scars:
You see these kinds of scars when skin loses mass below the healed area. that depresses the skin. These scars may be of different types such as ice-pick scars, depressed fibrotic scars, soft scars and macular types. During the course of acne, as the cyst expands with pus, bacteria, oil and dead skin cells, it ruptures and infects the dermis. To protect the dermis, the white blood cells rush in. This rupture may cause loss of collagen giving rise to deep recess or depression. The skin above is left unsupported because of loss of tissue below it and a saucer shaped or jagged ice-pick scar is formed. Ice-pick scars are more common on the face.
Keloids:
In some people, scars form in a reverse fashion. With loss of collagen as explained above, the body triggers fibroblasts that produce excessive collagen to replace the loss. This produces scar tissues called keloids. Keloids are more commonly found on male torsos. Other type of increased tissue formation scar is called hypertrophic scar. Hypertrophy means overgrowth.

Try one of the many scar-reducing creams available at your local drugstore, like Mederma or Scar Zone. They do work!
