I recently had an awful breakout from a birth control my body didn't agree with.. Left behind lots of darks spots on my cheeks and chin area. I believe my skin type/complexion scars much easier then others... I will not leave my house without make up on and my boyfriend (soon to be husband) has never seen me without foundation on.. These dark marks NEED to be significantly better by may! (none of these scars are indented or raised, they are just dark spots)

Answer: Dark spots from acne
You are experiencing post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, this is a discoloration caused by trauma to the skin such as acne. This is very treatable, there are a few different options such as IPL, laser or chemical peel treatments. usually this pigmentation is very superficial so a session of 1 to 3 peels should easily take care of your uneven skin tone. Chemical peels also have additional benefits such as anti aging and improving skin texture.

Acne commonly leaves behind dark marks especially in people with darker skin. Chemical peels can be an excellent way to address the blemishes, however, it is key to treat the acne. Consult with a board-certified dermatologist to determine what combination of prescription-strength acne medications, bleaching or brightening creams, and procedures, such as chemical peels, would be best for you. It can take months to clear this problem so if you want results by May see someone ASAP. Good luck!
