Reply:those red marks are called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. they will go away on their own but it can take a long time. there a few ways to help speed up the process:
1. Proteolytic enzymes peels
2. Lactic Acid peels
3. Products containg kojic acid
4. Products containing licorice root
5. Hydroquinone (you can get this 4% from a derm or 2$ over-the -counter.
i prefer the enzymes… they take of mine fast.
Reply:My red marks lasted for years until I used tazorac cream. They made my red marks go away in less than half a year. They also got rid of my wrinkle
Reply:it's nice to know that they will fade eventually. tnx for the explanation. i guess this time i want apologize for my english
regardsReply:A true scar will leave some sort of mark permanently, although it may be a very small, unnoticeable mark. Most red/brownish spots are clusters of tiny blood vessels that formed to help heal the area, and will be absorbed by the body in time. Sometimes it will take up to a year.
I am currently using Alpha Hydrox oil free formula with 10% glycolic acid, which I feel speeds up the fading process a bit.
(your English is fine by the way)
Reply:is it possible that they dont heal at all? btw, thanks for the reply.
Reply:they might heal on their own and i'm not sure if there's any way to speed it up or not but u can conceal them. cover them up with some sort of makeup like foundation to cover up some of the redness.
