Disease description:

A few days ago, I broke out with many pimples on my face due to “internal heat.” Although the pimples have now healed, they’ve left numerous red post-acne marks—how can I get rid of them?

To remove post-acne erythema (red acne marks), patients may apply topical medications under a physician’s guidance. Commonly used agents include asiaticoside cream and mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream. If pharmacological treatment proves ineffective, physical therapies—such as intense pulsed light (IPL) photorejuvenation or laser therapy—can be performed at a medical facility. Regardless of the chosen method for treating post-acne erythema, patients should maintain a light, bland diet throughout the treatment period.
