These range from shallow depressions, to sharp "ice pick" pits, to elevated bumps. Pimples can also heal leaving brown or red discoloration behind, but these generally fade over time without treatment and are not considered true scars.   A topical bleaching cream can be used to speed up the fading of the brown discoloration.
