Often, blemishes from acne scars are difficult and take a long time to disappear. Are you currently experiencing it? Black spots that appear from acne scars can indeed interfere with appearance and self-confidence. Usually, old acne scars have not disappeared, but new acne has appeared again. If not treated immediately, this condition can make black spots appear more and more on the face.
Black spots on acne scars arise as a result of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is a process of excessive pigment formation due to inflammation. When a pimple appears, the area where there is a pimple becomes red and sore. The pain and redness are symptoms that arise from inflammation which will lead to hyperpigmentation.
The habit of squeezing pimples also triggers and exacerbates acne. This habit can cause infection so that afterwards the stain will appear blacker. The blacker it is, the harder it is and the longer it will disappear.
Many people think that popping pimples is a quick solution to get rid of pimples because pimples can dry and disappear faster. In fact, when you squeeze it, the pus and contents of the pimple which are full of bacteria may not only be pushed out of the skin, but can also go deeper into the surrounding skin pores. This can make acne more inflamed and even leave deeper acne scars.
