because I really don't know what they are.You see I have light-moderate acne and mostly on my chin I guess little dark spots if that's what you want to call them where pimples used to be.Are those scars then?

Or can you even get scars from light to moderate acne?I wonder what they are, and if they will go away completely so I can have clear skin.

Man I wish I could show you guys a pic, lol.

All the help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Um there is nothing about red marks on the FAQ page :-s

And does anyone have a picture of someone with acne scars, but they don't have a bad case of acne?
