How to Reduce Redness from Acne Scars on the Face
Disease description:
I broke out with numerous pimples on my face a while ago. Although the pimples have subsided over the past few days, they’ve left behind many post-acne marks, and the affected areas are still slightly red. How can I reduce this redness?

To reduce redness from acne scars on the face, topical medications may be applied under a physician’s guidance. Commonly used agents include heparin sodium and allantoin compound gel and polysulfated mucopolysaccharide cream, which help constrict dilated capillaries and improve post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Additionally, phototherapy using red and blue light can be employed as a physical treatment modality; this enhances cellular activity, accelerates cellular metabolism, improves local blood circulation, and thereby promotes skin recovery.
