Acne & Pigmentation — Why Breakouts Leave Marks (and How to Fix It)
One of the most frustrating parts of acne isn’t always the breakout — it’s what gets left behind.
Why Acne Causes Pigmentation
When your skin experiences inflammation, it triggers excess melanin production.
This leads to:
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Red or brown marks after breakouts
Why Some Skin Types Are More Prone
Darker skin tones and sensitized skin are more reactive to inflammation, making pigmentation more likely.
