How do I get rid of those annoying dark spots after pimples? They keep showing up even if I don't touch the pimple.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 If you're prone to developing dark spots after pimples, avoiding sun exposure and using depigmentation creams can help reduce the appearance of these spots. It's best to start using these creams as soon as the pimple begins to fade to prevent the dark spots from becoming more pronounced.

Thanks
