I think so, but not really but dark spots usually go away over time, instead there are creams made to use for the dark spots and it helps quite a lot. I can list some for you that I use such as Mdacne and hydroquinone cream I prefer hydroquinone cream more since its more effective and cheaper. Hope this helps:) Have a good day/night.
I think check with someone. Being in over your head means that you feel like you've blown things out of proportion or you're speculating but aren't sure about something. Asking someone else for their opinion and advice is really helpful.
