Hi Lee
I had just answered a similar question for another member. Yes acne can leave scars and cause hyperpigmentaton in dark skin.
Here is the link to my answer about facial spots on dark skin.
Your best bet, is to seek the help of a good dermatologist because there are no quick and easy remedies for this.
I wish you the best of luck. Thank you for your question.
