I also want to manage the red marks left after acne treatment.
Lately, I am more worried about the red marks left behind from past breakouts than the new ones. Even after the acne subsides, the marks don't disappear cleanly but linger, making my face look messy overall. So, I am thinking of managing the marks along with my acne treatment this time.
Although I still get small pimples occasionally, they are not as severe as they used to be. I am wondering if the priority in this case is to treat the acne first to prevent new breakouts, or if it is possible to manage existing marks and skin texture simultaneously.
I did some research and found that when acne persists, it is more important to stabilize the skin rather than treat the marks first. I am curious to know the order in which those who have actually received both acne treatment and mark care proceeded.
I would also like to know what special precautions I should take in my daily life, as I have heard that the skin may become sensitive after treatment. I am also curious about how much attention I need to pay to sun protection and moisturizing.
If there are any others like me who have started acne treatment because they are concerned about red marks even though their acne has subsided to some extent, please let me know what methods were helpful. I would also appreciate it if you could share the duration of the treatment and how long it actually took for the skin to stabilize.
