You will need to define distortions. Are they turning colors?

Cherice,
What scanner are you using? Are you using a flatbed scanner? They look like 'Newton's Rings' which are formed when the negative is in close contact with the scanner glass. They are not defects on the negative: if you look at the negatives themselves I'd expect that you couldn't see them.
First thing to try is scanning them the other way round - ie flop the negs over. Newton's Rings are usually worst when the base (shiny) side of the negative is pressed right against the glass. Pressing the emulsion side (less shiny) against the glass is less likely to cause them. If you have glass on both sides, think about making a paper mask or something to hold the film off the glass. Without knowing which scanner you are using I'm having to guess a lot and may be heading in the wrong direction.
Best,
Helen

If the problem isn't Newtons rings then I suggest you take the negs to a good pro lab and have them washed/cleaned. The problem could be a combination of dust and humidity.
If neither is the problem, get some good editing software, learn to use it, and fix the photos after the negs have been scanned.
