Proactiv has a product that helps it go away called Skin lightening lotion. Anything with an active ingredient of Hydroquinone will help these spots go away. You could get a special product or just use your concealer! hope this helps, if you need anything else feel free to ask me!

Shelbyjune answered Saturday January 8 2005, 2:35 pm: If you're using soap -- STOP! Neutrogena or Clearasil are always good unless your skin is on the dry side already. Noxsema is also good, but be careful with the original as it can cause more blackheads.
Washing your face in the morning and evening will help clear it up and don't hurry up the process. If you're young, it takes time. Don't mess with it, or it will get worse. If you feel like the world is looking at it all the time, put a little concealer on it - Neutrogena or Clearasil actually make concealers that cover and clear at the same time.
If you feel really uncomfortable about taking this upon yourself, talk with your mom or see a doctor. There's nothing wrong with talking with someone who probably been through it and/or knows what they're talking about. [ Shelbyjune's advice column | Ask Shelbyjune A Question ]
Cutsie23 answered Saturday January 8 2005, 2:24 pm: Yeah....You should use Noxema face wash and use that in the morning and then before you go to bed use noxema face wipes and use those before you go to bed because it gets rid of the pimples, dirt, oil, and red blemishes, and the marks should be gone within the week, I can almsot gaurenttee you that!

Get some color for your cheeks that matches your skin color. Just put on your cheeks and other parts of your face (so it all matches), and it should be less visible! But don't forget to wash it off everyday, or it may be a cause of more pimples ♥ [ aNgeLxfOrEvEr's advice column | Ask aNgeLxfOrEvEr A Question ]
