Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been having pimples and acne marks that are constant. When I pop the pimple, sebum oozes out. Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand that dealing with acne marks can be frustrating. It is important to note that pushing or popping pimples can actually worsen the situation and increase the likelihood of scarring or marks. Here are a few suggestions to help fade acne marks:

1. Avoid picking or popping pimples: Picking at acne can lead to inflammation and scarring. It is best to let them heal naturally.

2. Practice a consistent skincare routine: Cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. Use non-comedogenic products and avoid harsh scrubbing.

3. Use topical treatments: Look for products containing ingredients like Retinoids, vitamin C, or Niacinamide, which can help fade acne marks over time.

4. Protect your skin from the sun: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF (sun protection factor) 30 daily to protect your skin from harmful UV (ultraviolet) rays, which can darken acne marks.

5. Consider professional treatments: If the acne marks persist, you may want to consult a dermatologist who can recommend treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy to help fade the marks.

Remember, it takes time for acne marks to fade, and results may vary depending on the severity of the marks and your skin type. Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine, and consider seeking professional suggestions if needed. I hope this will help you.

Thank you.
