So your skin has broken out, or you may have a pimple or two in isolation. These in themselves are enough to stress you out. Now add into the mix the worry of post-acne dark marks. This is especially common in dark skin tones. And it can be caused by something as normal as popping that pimple (it’s just so tempting) that causes inflammation. The skin in turn produces pigment as a form of protection, but what you see is a post-acne dark mark that looks out of synch with the rest of your skin’s tone.
