How to treat post-acne inflammatory marks
Acne is a common issue that occurs once you reach puberty and may continue till you reach thirty years of age. The worst thing about acne is the stubborn marks it left after the papules and pustules are gone. These marks are referred to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). PIH is of two types: one that occurs due to acne
and the other which occurs due to waxing and threading. The good news is that the
PIH in both these cases is epidermal which means it can be removed after a
slight treatment.
However, it is always advisable to avoid the things which cause
the PIH to occur in the first place. If PIH is due to acne, the best treatment to
remove the acne marks is the use of skinoren
cream which is a composition of 20% azelaic acid.
It is to be noted that if you suffer from acne then using
exfoliators like glycolic acid, mandelic acid, or any vitamin C solution to
remove acne marks should be avoided as they provoke the acne and causes a
purging of skin over and over again. Unlike
AHA and BHA acids, azelaic acid exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, and
although it possesses slight exfoliating properties; its anti-inflammatory
action prevents the irritation caused by exfoliation so it keeps the skin calm
and smooth. Besides removing acne marks, this acid also helps to prevent the purging of skin and the appearance of new breakouts. However, azelaic
acid may take 2-3 months for its results to become visible, the moment you see
how effective it can be, you’ll be glad you gave this acid a chance.
Anybody who is interested to use this acid for removing acne
marks must begin with the application of skionren cream for 1 hour on regular
basis and once your skin gets used to it, the time of application can be increased.
It is always advisable to use this cream at night and a good moisturizer should
be applied after its use.
Another thing is also to be noted here when you are
using any exfoliating agent to achieve the removal of marks, a type of moisturizer
should be selected that does not produce much oily content on your
face. If you use any lotion or cream with high content of oil then your main
acid take a long time to produce results because exfoliation doesn’t happen easily
then. So, while using acids for treatment, always use a moisturizer that helps
to calm the skin from irritation but does not contain much oil content. Moreover,
when you are using an exfoliating cream/lotion then always avoid using any
extra acid face wash with that because instead of producing the results fast
they may result in irritation of the skin.
Note: This cream should be used on the face only. The
application of this cream on other parts of the body to remove PIH marks is not
recommended.
