I have some brown marks left by pimples...?

Question

It's been almost 1 year but they haven't faded yet, I'm confused cause I'm not sure whether they are scars or post-acne marks/inflammation.It was a bit reddish before but it has turned dark brown in color since I didn't use any sun protection. It looks like this http://www.noixia.com/media/images/site/acne_scar_cheek_wk0.gif

You see those 3 darks spots on the bottom of her cheek? It looks just like that but mine has turned more brownish by the way, the girl in the pic isn't me, I found it from this site http://images.google.com.sa/imgres?imgurl=http://www.noixia.com/media/images/site/acne_scar_cheek_wk0.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.noixia.com/page--Noixia-Success-Stories-2--ste_testimonials2.html&h=329&w=500&sz=117&hl=en&start=4&sig2=KBkREkf2qPjC8REVoKb4Wg&um=1&tbnid=peD4Qq290REgDM:&tbnh=86&tbnw=130&ei=JuWrSJngGI-y0QTmlcy5Dw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dacne%2Bscarring%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN

Answer 6

I don't know about the other four but bio-oil doesn't work at all.  It's full of bullsh**.  Don't waste your money on that.  my sister swears by fade cream from local pharmacist that she bought to use on her stretch marks after she had a baby - she also used it on a dark birthmark which i can verify faded quite a bit...I'm not sure what the brand of it is but if you ask at your pharmacist for a recommended fade cream then they should be able to help you - she said it only cost around $30 so not too expensive.  Another friend of mine also put's plasters over her acne scar's at night when she goes to sleep - she said it helps with the healing process and help;s to fade them.  She only uses the sticky part of the plaster lol.  Not the middle part with the padding.  She sitting next to me right now and swears it works, but looks ridiculous - hence putting them on before she goes to bed and removing them as soon as she wakes up!
