Doctors’ responses

Persistent pimple marks can indeed be frustrating, especially when they last as long as 1.5 years. These marks, often referred to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), occur when the skin responds to inflammation by producing excess melanin, leading to dark spots. The fact that facial hair regrows without a problem suggests that your skin is otherwise healthy, which is good news. To manage these marks, consider using topical treatments containing ingredients like niacinamide, azelaic acid, or glycolic acid, which can help lighten hyperpigmentation over time. These ingredients work by inhibiting melanin production and promoting skin cell turnover. It’s crucial to apply sunscreen daily, as sun exposure can darken the spots further, making them more noticeable and harder to fade. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and apply it generously to the affected area every morning, even on cloudy days. It’s also advisable to avoid picking or squeezing any remaining spots, as this can aggravate the area and potentially lead to further discoloration. If over-the-counter options haven’t helped, seeing a dermatologist could be beneficial. They might recommend treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy, which can effectively reduce stubborn pigmentation. These professional interventions can accelerate the fading process but should be chosen based on your specific skin type and needs. Keep in mind that such treatments can carry risks or require downtime, so discuss all potential side effects and aftercare requirements with your dermatologist before proceeding. Regular follow-ups with your doctor will be essential to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
