Many people are concerned about the brown marks that remain even after acne has cleared up. This can be particularly bothersome if the marks linger for a long time, especially on areas where the acne was severe. These brown acne marks are a type of hyperpigmentation; while they may naturally fade depending on how they are cared for, they can also persist for a long time.

Today, I will summarize everything in one go, from the reasons why brown acne marks appear to home care management and prevention methods, as well as dermatological treatment options!

1. Causes of brown acne marks

Acne marks are caused by hyperpigmentation occurring as inflammation heals in the area where acne was present; they are said to be red initially but can turn brown over time.

 

1) Inflammatory acne

It is said that brown marks can easily remain on areas affected by inflammatory acne. Initially, red marks appear, which reportedly turn brown over time.

 

2) Excessive extrusion

It is said that if you have a habit of forcefully squeezing acne with your hands or frequently touching it, it is highly likely to cause damage to skin tissue and lead to hyperpigmentation.

 

3) UV exposure

It is also said that ultraviolet rays stimulate the production of melanin, which can make brown acne marks even darker.

 

4) Slowed skin regeneration rate

In addition to this, it is said that if the skin regeneration cycle slows down, pigmentation remains on the skin for a long time, causing brown acne marks to persist.

2. Home Care Methods for Brown Acne Marks

It is said that skincare that reduces irritation and promotes regeneration is important for alleviating brown acne marks. I will tell you how you can manage them with home care.

 

1) UV protection

The most important thing in managing brown acne marks is UV protection. Since exposure to UV rays can darken pigmentation, using sunscreen when going outdoors is said to be essential.

2) Use acne patches

It is said that using acne patches can also be helpful. It is recommended to use patches containing ingredients that aid in the recovery of damaged skin, soothe the skin, or reduce inflammation. However, since leaving an acne patch on for more than 8 hours can clog pores around the affected area or cause irritation, it is advised to keep it on for about 6 to 8 hours.

 

3) Use a whitening ampoule

Using a whitening ampoule can also be an option. The Meladuse Brightening Ampoule contains niacinamide, a representative whitening ingredient, which is said to help manage dull skin tone.
