How do I treat acne marks as compared to acne scars? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

Acne marks (post-inflammatory erythema and hyperpigmentation) will gradually fade on their own over several weeks/months, so do not worry.

It is important to prevent new acne from occurring (check out the Acne section for the various strategies to do so) as new acne will cause new marks to occur.

Hope this helps.
