I've been dealing with some pimples that, after a few days, turn into these dark spots on my face. It's really frustrating and I'm not sure how to get rid of them. Do you have any advice on what might work to clear up these spots?

To help fade block spots from pimples, try using gentle exfoliants with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide. Consistently moisturizing and applying sunscreen daily will also prevent further darkening. If spots persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for targeted treatments.
