Can pimples turn into moles?

Doctor's Answer

In Asian skin, all pink pimples will heal leaving a brown mark known as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is due to the higher melanin content in our skin being disturbed during the inflammatory process.

The good news is, these brown patches will usually fade in 2-3 months, and medical grade lightening creams or a light laser can help it fade faster. Just remember to stay out of the sun to help it along as well.
