How To Fade Acne Scars: Post Inflammatory Erythema & Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

[@mickeyfitzpatrick4418]

Hi Dr. Shreene. Please don’t pay attention to negative comments. Your intro and calling out the skin nerds is wonderful if someone thinks the intro is to long, they should learn how to fast forward. You are awesome, appreciated and have the best advice. Thank you for taking your time to give us excellent advice. ❤️Michele Fitzpatrick

[@cynthialopez2084]

Amen

[@DavyYap]

Yes!!!

[@a2d3]

Well said! I love the little skin nerd intro. It's so sweet. 🥺

[@raphaellejandro]

same!! i don't mind the intro.

[@gigistrailsandtales7203]

I agree!!!!! I love her personality, sense of humour and light! Please don’t let the minority take that away from us!

[@TheRisingIcarus]

So helpful! It's very discouraging when your acne finally fades and you're left with a tonne of PIE which makes you look like you still have acne.

[@ionatanaflamestyle]

what is PIE?

[@potterhead7591]

Post inflammatory erythema meaning red spot ​@@ionatanaflamestyle

[@joey4222]

PIE is post inflammatory erythema, it’s similar to hyperpigmentation but it requires different treatment ingredients

[@davidaguirre2255]

I know the feeling currently dealing with PIE due to cystic acne no active acne but tons of redness from the aftermath

[@redmadff4902]

​@@davidaguirre2255did it get any better?

[@margauxhaiart]

Skin saver ! Being extremely prone to hyperpigmentation and/or redness and dealing with acne for few years that is exactly what I needed !

[@vanessaibarra185]

She recommended like 10 things, which one dis u pick for hyperpigmentation?

[@jengal720]

Please keep your intros however you want! I love these videos!

[@JustBeingAwesome]

​@@vanessaibarra185i use alpha arbutin, tranexamic acid, glycolid acid and retionol, vit C. Combining it for 8 weeks now. It's better but not gone yet.

Yes, please. I have been recommended fraxel laser. I would appreciate hearing your recommendations and insights. We are very fortunate to have your generous sharing of information. Thank you, Dr. Shereene Idriss! Sending you much love and gratitude.

[@nicagerona59]

Also would like to know how to tackle it for those with darker skin tones, I’ve heard that lasers could worsen (the pigmentation) it. But then I’ve heard that it’s effective as well.

[@puffmaimai]

I would love to hear about textured acne scars too! (at home treatments & clinic treatment suggestions would be much appreciated!)

[@SeherDholakia]

I love how detailed your videos are! And love the longer videos too 😊 would love a video on textured scarring and in office procedures for PIH and scarring

[@laurelgrasso2897]

I totally agree. I go to a dermatologist and I learn SO much more about my skin from watching these videos.

[@user-dg7yv4ki6k]

the fact that i was looking for videos about post inflammatory erythema just a few hours ago and you, my main source of skin care advice on youtube, posted a video about it an hour ago is wild to me! thank you so much dr. shreene :)

[@Fern635]

This might sound weird, but you have no idea how comforting it is to see a man who is married to a dermatologist but still dealing with acne. It makes it seem like maybe having a few spots isn't the calamity my brain makes it out to be.

[@javediqbal-pq3ie]

To put it simple and straight, you woke me from a long slumber. Now I feel the need to change and that's what I have started to do, mainly thanks to your powerful influencing videos. I remain thankful beyond words. Now whenever the class will be in session and you're in charge, I'll be there to pick the wisdom you gift away. I remain sincerely thankful. Stay Blessed.

[@ambarhernandez5611]

A video on how to treat dark stained armpit will totally help. I also just want to say that your knowledge and recommendations has transformed my cystic acne to beautiful clear skin. I also want to thank you for taking your time to create all of these videos. Sincerely thank you sooo much, since having no insurance or money to go to a dermatologist your videos helps a lot of people like myself.

Another dr from Taiwan recommends to start Botox treatment at your late 20s or early 30s when you first started to see wrinkles or sagging problems. I personally suggest dual yellow laser, any pico laser for basic treatment, if you need something stronger, you may consider Thermage FLX

Hi Shereene, thanks again for a lovely video! I was wondering whether some of the products you mentioned for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation would also work on other parts of the body. Last summer, I accidentally poured some boiling water on myself and got a second-degree burn on my thigh. It cured nicely but I now have a 20x5cm darker spot on my thigh. I’m guessing it, too, is due to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation? After getting the burn I took a lot of care not to expose it to the sun at all and then, luckily, we went into winter! But the spot is still there despite it being months since the accident happened. Any help is appreciated ❤️ PS: I love that you actually explain to us the pathophysiology of different conditions and then explain how the various cosmetic/chemical compounds work to tackle the issues 👏🏼

I knew a woman many MANY years ago 😂 who suffered with deep, acne scarring (my husband has a few but he can hide behind a beard 😊) and she had a procedure done that was like sanding the face. I don't recall what it was called and the healing the process was a while. It looked scary, I won't deny but then it healed and WOW it was amazing how much better she looked. It had taken up so much visual space in her appearance I honestly didn't know what she really looked like! What a difference this made to her confidence which was the best benefit of the whole procedure. She threw an abusive husband to the curb, landed a great job and went on to enjoy a so much better life. It was astounding what a difference this procedure made in her life. I would even go so far as to say it was the best investment she ever made. I do think creams can help but if the scarring is severe I do think it's worth investing in the procedure in a derms office if it's affordable.

[@MsLovication]

Hey Kathleen, thank you for sharing. Do you know the name of the treatment?

I feel like as I'm ageing, my tear troughs are losing volume and it's the main thing that's bothering me. I was wondering if there are any products that can improve it.

I’ve seen 3 dermatologists in London for a sudden appearance of atrophic scars (in the absence of recent acne) in the lower cheek area which I’ve been told could be from acne flares of 20 years ago manifested into the 50s. Very very odd. Been assured it’s not the tretinoin (+niacinimide+azeleic) formulation I’ve been on for nearly a year. Unsure if it’s the l-ascorbic acid? Or whether indeeed past acne scars can become prominent with menopausal skin changes? Such a minefield! I’d a appreciate a deep-dive. I absolutely love your educational skin videos. Don’t stop making these. You’re an absolute star !

After watching a previous video of yours I realized that the dryness and dehydration in my skin was being caused by hyaluronic acid so I’m cutting it from my routine. My skin is naturally slightly oily so I usually go for gels, gel creams, or water creams because it doesn’t feel as heavy but I can’t find any really good ones that actually keep my skin moisturized at a *decent* price.

Hi Shereene! I was wondering, does hydroquinone (like in Ambi cream) fade red post-acne marks? I know it's advertised to fade brown spots but does it work on red spots too or is another ingredient better for that? Thank you!

[@kategolden8840]

You should check with the glass test that dr Idriss showed us if your redness is made up of pigment or bloodvessels. If the red marks are make up of pigment hydroquinone will probably work because its a tyrosinase inhobitor so it stops the production of melanin. :)
