I'm afraid they won't just go away on their own. I know that dermabrasion and laserlight can help lessen the appearance of scars but if cosmetic surgery isnt an option for you then you might want to try finding a good pore minimiser and Bio Oil. I use both and I swear Bio Oil every night has helped "heal" my skin. If your pores are enlarged at times ( oily, sunlight) your scarring will seem even worse so a good quality minimiser works wonders. I also asked for Creme de la mer for Christmas! which i smother my face in once a week as a treat (its expensive) and all its ingredients are from the sea but it all must work because every time i see someone i havent seen for ages they always comment on my skin. Good luck.

Im afraid they won't fade completely, unless you have surgery, and even then i'm not sure as i've never had it. I know you can't have dermabrasion until you stop getting the spots for healing purposes but it might have changed since i was told that myself. All i can suggest is that you minimise the appearance of the scars like i mentioned earlier. I know this news will be disheartening to you but dont dispair, try all you can then save for the cosmetic option if all else fails. I think you should definately try the bio oil, i don't know how badly you are scarred but some of mine seem to have disappeared, only when im in sunlight can i see they are still there. I wish you luck and keep smiling.
