how to remove marks of pimples from face - #13985

Shivam

I am really struggling with some marks of pimples from face and it’s driving me nuts! A few months ago, I had this terrible breakout, and even though the pimples are gone now, I’m left with these dark spots staring back at me in the mirror. I tried some over-the-counter creams, but honestly, I don’t see much improvement. I read online about how to remove marks of pimples from face using vitamin C serums and other treatments, but it feels like there are too many options, and I don't know what to trust. Plus, my skin can be super sensitive, and I'm nervous to try something that might make it worse! A friend told me to exfoliate more frequently, but isn’t that too harsh for skin that's already inflamed? And can anyone tell me how long it usually takes to see results when using these treatments? I've been feeling kinda bummed seeing these marks, and I really want to know how to remove marks of pimples from face without making matters worse—any personal recommendations or advice? I want my skin to feel smooth and clear again!

Doctors' responses

Dealing with post-acne marks, also known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), can certainly be frustrating, but there are several approaches that can help. Firstly, incorporating a topical vitamin C serum can be beneficial as it has well-documented skin-brightening and antioxidant effects, helping to lighten dark spots over time. When choosing a serum, opt for one with L-ascorbic acid which is the active form of vitamin C, and patch-test it first, especially since your skin is sensitive. It’s usually applied once a day, in the morning before sunscreen. Speaking of sunscreen, it’s crucial to use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, as UV exposure can worsen hyperpigmentation. For sensitive skin, look for mineral-based sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. If you’re considering exfoliation, be cautious not to overdo it, as harsh scrubbing can indeed irritate and inflame the skin further. Instead, you might try a gentle chemical exfoliant like a low-percentage AHA, which can promote cell turnover without being too abrasive. Use it about once or twice a week, and observe how your skin reacts. Results from treatments like these can take time, often several weeks to months, so patience is vital. If after several weeks you see no improvement, or if irritation occurs, consulting a dermatologist may be worthwhile. They can provide prescription options like retinoids or other tailored treatments. Avoid aggressively using multiple new products simultaneously as this can aggravate your skin. Prioritize consistency and make incremental changes, adjusting based on your skin’s response.
