HI,
thanks for writing to us.
You might just be having acne vulgaris or pimples. These commonly occur over face, upper back and upper arms. These brown marks are post inflammatory hyperpigmentation occuring after healing of acne lesions.
use of salicylic acid face wash and adapalene gel in night should help you out. For further management contact a dermatologist nearby.
