I have dry skin and melasma, so how should I treat the occasional acne?

I have naturally dry skin, so it is always on the dry side, but I still get one or two pimples from time to time. I also developed melasma after pregnancy, so I'm actually a bit worried that the acne might leave marks.

 

I am looking into acne treatments like lasers or extractions, but is it okay to get them on skin with melasma? I am worried that the irritation might cause the melasma to darken or leave a permanent discoloration.

 

I don't tend to get a lot of acne, so I'm wondering if I need to receive treatments consistently even in this case, or if managing it only when breakouts occur is sufficient. Since I have dry skin, I'm also worried that it might feel tighter after treatment. Please let me know if I can receive a consultation for both melasma and acne at the same time.

건성에 기미도 있는데 가끔 나는 여드름은 어떻게 치료받아야 할까요?

    기미와 여드름, 건조함은 함께 상담하되 각각의 상태와 우선순위를 나눠 확인하면 좋겠어요. 현재 임신·수유 여부와 사용하는 약이나 제품도 의료진에게 알려주세요. 압출이나 레이저를 바로 정하기보다 염증과 색소 침착 위험을 먼저 확인하고, 필요한 부위만 관리할 수 있는지와 시술 뒤 보습·자외선 차단 기준을 안내받으시면 도움이 되겠습니다.
