What are pimple marks ?

Pimple marks are dark spots or hyper-pigmentation left behind on skin after the pimple heals. It is a post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). PIH is nothing but discoloration of a skin after a wound heals. It is skin’s natural response to inflammation. 

These marks are generally flat areas of discolouration on your skin. They won’t appear as raised bumps but as flat spots in dark color. The spot can be pink, red, purple, brown, or black, depending on your skin tone and the depth of the discolouration.

Acne scars are also post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation but they differ in their appearance and texture from pimple marks. The difference between both of them and relevant natural remedies and treatment for pimple marks will be discussed further in this blogpost.

Why do we get pimple marks?

 Pimple marks and acne scars  are a natural response of your skin while your pimple is healing. When the skin heals after a pimple or acne, it produces more melanin at that area of the skin. By the time the pimple subsides, you’re left with pimple marks or scars from the natural healing process which involves increased melanin production.

 Acne scars, on the other hand, are more serious than pimple marks. They can be either due to loss of tissue leaving a pitted or depressed area. They can also be a thick and raised surface from the skin due to excessive collagen production during the acne healing process. Acne scars are generally permanent and require more invasive treatment. They don’t go away with the use of natural remedies or over-the-counter (OTC) products. Pimple marks are neither pitted nor raised. They’re simply darker than the surrounding skin area.

    • Never touch or pop any pimple. It may lead to deeper spots on the skin.

     

    • Avoid direct exposure to sunlight. If you spend a lot of time in the sun, make sure you wear sunscreen all the time.
