What are dark spots and why do people think they are so nasty?

Thanks for the people who answered my last question, but im 15 and i have dark spots on my cheecks from acne and not taking care of it. I first found out i had dark spots when people were staring at me. Like every where i go people stare at me. I want to know how to get rid if them. My mom died when i was 11 and i live with my dad and brother i cant ask no one for advice. I want to know how to get rid of them and keep them away. I talk to my dad about going to the doctor, but he thinks I dont need to.What are dark spots and why do people think they are so nasty?
Well if you get an allowence you can always get some type of over-the-counter product that can clear up acne dark spots. Make sure you read the products because some skin care products can make the problem even worse. The dark sopts are called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation the occur at the site of the healed or healing acne.....I am in no way a dermatologist but I have had a few friends use proactiv (as seen on tv lol) and it did wonders for them but like i said do searches on the internet and try and find a good product you can buy at the store .....if it gets really bad you dad may take you to see a Dr so the can work with you to find the best products for your skin type.What are dark spots and why do people think they are so nasty?
It's just a darker pigment from the scarring..it will lighten over time. You can always try products with shea butter..tauted as a scar reducer!





Other than topical treatments like that, you may have to wait until you are older and try chemical peel or dermabrasion.
