Even after acne clears, red or brown marks can linger, causing concern. These marks, which remain on the skin even after acne has cleared, are called acne hyperpigmentation. If you ignore these marks, dismissing them as simple marks, they can become darker.

Today, I'll explain everything from the causes of acne pigmentation to home care and prevention methods, and even how to improve it with dermatological treatments!

1. Causes of acne pigmentation

1) Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays

Excessive exposure to UV rays is said to damage the skin and cause melanin production. This irritation is particularly likely to lead to pigmentation in acne-prone areas.

 

2) Inflammatory response

Additionally, the brown pigmentation that remains after acne clears can be caused by increased melanin production during the inflammatory process. Red marks are said to be caused by dilated capillaries remaining after inflammation.

 

3) Excessive extrusion

Sometimes, people squeeze pimples with their hands, which can easily lead to hyperpigmentation. Forcing pimples out can damage the skin barrier, increasing the likelihood of remaining hyperpigmentation.

2. Home care and prevention of acne pigmentation

They say that acne pigmentation can be prevented to some extent by simply changing your lifestyle habits. Here are some home care and prevention methods for pigmentation you can practice at home!

 

1) Do not squeeze acne

It is said that avoiding self-squeezing pimples with your hands can help prevent pigmentation, as it can damage the skin and cause pigmentation.

 

2) Apply sunscreen

Additionally, since UV rays can cause pigmentation, it is said that applying sunscreen thoroughly indoors as well as outdoors can help manage pigmentation.

3) Do not scrub too hard

It is said that you should avoid strong scrubs because they can break down the skin barrier, cause micro-wounds and inflammation, and cause melanocytes to overreact, which can worsen pigmentation.

 

4) Moisture management

Dry skin has a weak skin barrier, making it susceptible to external irritants and inflammation, leading to hyperpigmentation. Therefore, drinking plenty of water and applying a moisturizer after washing your face are said to be helpful in managing hyperpigmentation.
