What Causes Gray Spots On Stomach?

Hello, I am an african american teen girl and I sometimes get these gray spots on my stomach. It looks like it could be ash spots or dirt spots but I scrub my stomach and they still appear. When they re not ash gray they look like dark spots all over my stomach. They arent itchy and dont cause me any pain they re just ugly and annoying.
