I have posted a few topics on this website. My cheeks are covered with post acne red marks and feel flat and smooth. If I am extremely careful with running my finger over my cheeks I feel one or two very very small indents where a darken mark is. Is this normal to feel a very very small indent for darken marks?? Thanks for your responses.

The small indentation could be an ice-pick scar over the dark mark which is the hyperpigmentation scar.

Over the course of months, perhaps even a year, the hyperpigmentation mark would fade away- it would be helpful if you have some treatments to aid the fading process faster.

 

As for being a common outcome with both type of scars layer on one another- Yes.

So do you think that my small indent will fade away also?

It's tough to say. Not even a doctor can guarantee the outcome. A guide line should be if the indentations are still present after 12 months, then it can be said that the scars will remain as it is unless treatments are introduced.
