I'm really worried about my face. A couple of years ago, I got mango acid on my skin, and now I've got these small black pits. They are all over my face and I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm feeling pretty self-conscious and wondering if there's any treatment that could help improve my skin?

The scars and hyperpigmentation from mango acid exposure two years ago can be challenging to treat, but consider consulting a dermatologist for professional advice; they may recommend treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy to help reduce the appearance of scars and dark spots, and also prescribe topical creams or serums containing ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or retinoids to promote skin brightening and collagen production.
