To remove red acne marks, pharmacological treatment is commonly employed. Under a physician’s guidance, topical medications such as mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream or asiaticoside cream may be used. During treatment, maintain a light, bland diet and avoid foods containing pigments to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Additionally, physical therapies—such as laser treatment or intense pulsed light (IPL) photorejuvenation—can be considered for eliminating red acne marks, under the supervision and recommendation of a qualified healthcare provider.
