Well...most red or brown marks left after a pimple is popped will eventually fade or disappear, but it may take up to a year for this to happen. If your acne marks or scars are severe or you're upset about them, you may want to talk to a doctor. Techniques like laser resurfacing and dermabrasion 鈥?which remove the top layer of skin, leaving a smooth new layer 鈥?can speed the process...in the future, try to avoid pimple popping, so that you don't have to worry about marks or scars!
Anyway...here are some tips to help:
Wash your face twice a day (no more) with warm water and a mild soap made for people with acne. Gently massage your face with circular motions. Don't scrub. Overwashing and scrubbing can cause skin to become irritated. After cleansing, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends applying an over-the-counter (no prescription needed) lotion containing benzoyl peroxide. This will decrease oil and bacteria.
Don't pop pimples. It's tempting, but here's why you shouldn't: Popping pimples can push infected material further into the skin, leading to more swelling and redness, and even scarring. If you notice a pimple coming before a big event, like the prom, a dermatologist can often treat it for you with less risk of scarring or infection.
Avoid touching your face with your fingers or leaning your face on objects that collect sebum and skin residue like the telephone receiver. Touching your face can spread the bacteria that cause pores to become inflamed and irritated. To keep bacteria at bay, wash your hands before applying anything to your face, such as treatment creams or makeup.
If you wear glasses or sunglasses, make sure you clean them frequently to keep oil from clogging the pores around your eyes and nose.
If you get acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothes, which don't allow skin to breathe and may cause irritation. You also might want to stay away from scarves, headbands, and caps, which can collect dirt and oil, too.
Remove your makeup before you go to sleep. When buying makeup, make sure you choose brands that say ';noncomedogenic'; or ';nonacnegenic'; on the label. Throw away old makeup that smells or looks different from when you first bought it.
Keep hair clean and out of your face to prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.
Protect your skin from the sun. It may seem like a tan masks acne, but it's only temporary. A tan can cause the body to produce extra sebum, which may worsen your acne, not improve it. Tanning also causes damage to skin that will eventually lead to wrinkles and increase your risk of skin cancer.
After all if you're still concerned about acne, talk to a dermatologist. Dermatologists offer a range of treatments that help to prevent and clear up acne and acne scars. A dermatologist can help you find the treatment method that's best for you and can also give you lots of useful tips for dealing with acne and caring for your skin type. Some salons and spas have trained skin specialists, called estheticians, who can offer advice and skin care treatments.
I know it's long but try to read it carefully and hope it helps you.

Hi, i have found this site.. try to check if that is helpful. http://www.bestantiwrinklecreamreviews.c鈥?/a>How can a get rid of acne marks and black spots?
I don't know if you are willing to spend a little money but miroderm and light chemical peels do miracles. You will have to do sessions of them but they are worth it plus you get to pamper yourself while making you feel better about yourself.
That kinda sounds like a scare, of some type...so maybe try a scare cream?.
i've corrected my acne marks with this nice black licorice lightening soap.. it has a microdermabrasion effect to gently peel off the topmost dark skin layer and resurface a lightened even skin tone.. you can also apply lightening cream if you want faster results.. here's a good source for safe and effective skin lightening products -
