id=\"How_is_acne_related_to_discoloration\"><\/span>How is acne related to discoloration?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several ways that acne blemishes can lead to discolored spots on your skin. As your lesions heal, the surrounding blood vessels may dilate and create reddish or purplish areas on your skin. Acne can also cause inflammation and damage your skin cells, which may respond by releasing more melanin, a pigment that darkens the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deeper the inflammation or injury, the more likely it is that discoloration will occur. Any activity that damages your skin, like picking, popping, or squeezing pimples, increases the chance of discoloration. You may also be at greater risk if you spend time in the sun without UV protection or if you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/everyday-care\/skin-care-secrets\/routine\/fade-dark-spots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">darker skin tone<\/a> that produces more pigment when it is affected by acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_main_differences_between_acne_scars_and_discoloration\"><\/span>The main differences between acne scars and discoloration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although both acne scars and discoloration can make your complexion look uneven, they are different skin conditions that require different treatments. Acne scars manifest as depressed, pitted, or raised skin tissue that is sometimes characterized as &#8220;boxcar,&#8221; &#8220;icepick,&#8221; or &#8220;rolling&#8221; scars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discoloration from acne shows up as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/skincare-guides\/how-to-get-rid-of-dark-spots-on-your-face\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1246\">dark spots<\/a> on otherwise normal-looking skin. Picking or popping pimples can cause both scarring and discoloration because your lesions are more likely to become inflamed and infected after this interference, resulting in deep damage that takes longer to fully heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_causes_acne_blemishes_and_discoloration_on_the_skin\"><\/span>What causes acne blemishes and discoloration on the skin?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acne occurs when your skin\u2019s hair follicles become congested with oil, debris, and bacteria and subsequently cause inflamed comedones, pimples, or other lesions to appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the sebaceous glands that lubricate your hair follicles produce excess oil that mixes with debris and bacteria in your pores, your skin can become congested and infected, forming pimples, papules, and other kinds of acne lesions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your skin produces too much melanin as the blemish heals, the damaged area of the skin may become discolored even if the lesion was minor. The greater the degree of inflammation, the larger, darker, or more stubborn the spot will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_rid_of_acne_scars_and_discoloration_Best_treatments\"><\/span>How to get rid of acne scars and discoloration: Best treatments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To correct skin discoloration that is caused by acne, adopt a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/skincare-guides\/why-a-skincare-regimen-is-worth-your-time-and-money\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2385\">skincare regimen<\/a> that will prevent new breakouts. Regularly treat and exfoliate your skin with products that will encourage your body to replace damaged skin cells with new, healthy cells.

If you elect to use retinols or retinoids, be sure to use SPF and wear sun protection whenever you head outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chemical_peels\"><\/span>Chemical peels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/science-of-skincare\/chemical-peels-what-do-dermatologists-say\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2358\">Chemical peels<\/a> use a highly concentrated glycolic or salicylic treatment to remove and resurface the outer layers of your skin. This deep exfoliation can reduce the discoloration associated with acne as your skin sheds damaged cells and replaces them with healthy ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dermabrasion\"><\/span>Dermabrasion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dermabrasion involves using a special tool to remove the top layers of your skin with an abrasive action that is similar to sanding.

As these heal, they encourage old, damaged, and discolored skin cells to shed as a new layer of skin takes its place. These new skin cells may be more even-toned, reducing the appearance of dark spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_for_acne_treatments_to_work\"><\/span>How long does it take for acne treatments to work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/skincare-guides\/how-to-treat-acne-and-wrinkles-together\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2701\">Acne treatments<\/a> may take four to six weeks to work.

This practice will remove dirt, oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria that can interact to cause breakouts. Take care to avoid harsh cleansing agents, scrubs, or abrasive washcloths that could irritate your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_your_hair_care_routine\"><\/span>Consider your hair care routine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your hairstyle causes your tresses to brush against your skin, make sure that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/category\/conditioners-and-masks\">conditioning, treatment<\/a>, and styling products you are using are non-comedogenic, non-allergenic, and do not otherwise irritate your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Refrain_from_touching_your_face\"><\/span>Refrain from touching your face<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Touching your face is an easy way to spread acne-causing bacteria over your skin, which increases your chance of developing new acne blemishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_cosmetics_sparingly\"><\/span>Use cosmetics sparingly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you wear foundation or other makeup, make sure that it\u2019s labeled as non-comedogenic. Wear as little makeup as possible, as infrequently as possible, and remove it at the end of each day with a cleanser that will completely lift it off your skin and allow it to be rinsed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_the_sun\"><\/span>Avoid the sun<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/pro-tips\/sun-damage-and-importance-of-sunscreen\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1562\">Sun and UV exposure<\/a> can cause your skin to overproduce oil and lead to an increase in redness, inflammation, and melanin production.
