Acne Hyperpigmentation
Many notice that once their pimple/acne begins to heal, dark spots take the place of the pimple. Acne hyperpigmentation works similarly to the way acne scars do. They are both frusterating, hard to prevent, and hard to treat.
Whenever your skin is irritated, through acne, a rash… a protein called Melanin is produced to help heal the problem. Unfortunately, many find that their bodies end up producing too much Melanin, which causes abnormal darkness of the skin.
How to avoid hyperpigmentation: Do not pop your pimple[s]! Pimple popping not only has adverse effects on your skin in general, doing so can increase the risk of having hyperpigmented skin. Let your pimples heal naturally! Try to remember to use an acne cream or oral treatment that has been known to speed up the acne process.
Possibly the worst part about having hyperpigmented acne is the fact that it can take several months, if not years to heal and look better. The average hyperpigmentation will stay noticeable for the better part of 24 months! Do everything you can to avoid this problem in the first place!
