What to do if acne marks turn into moles

In life, many people are glad that the acne on their faces is finally removed, leaving only acne scars, but acne scars can be easily covered with cosmetics, so many people are not very anxious about the repair of acne scars, just thinking to let nature take its course, and the acne scars will slowly heal on their own, but they did not expect that acne scars will actually become stubborn moles. I was almost crying. So today I will tell you what to do if acne marks turn into moles.

Your acne scars may not heal on their own, but instead turn into "black moles"!

Many people with acne scars have this problem: the red acne scars on their faces gradually turn black and look like black moles. What’s going on?

Acne scars are just acne scars, no matter how dark they are, they will not turn into moles.

The dark color of acne scars is caused by post-inflammatory pigmentation, which is the deposition of melanin.

When acne becomes inflamed, the inflammatory factors at the acne site will trigger melanocytes to resist the invasion of ultraviolet rays, so the acne marks will turn brown, gray, black, etc. to varying degrees.

In fact, the red acne marks turn into black acne marks because of the melanin deposition on the face. This is because there is inflammation on the face during the period of acne or red acne marks, and the melanin deposition caused by skin inflammation.

This is like after being exposed to strong sunlight, the skin quickly turns red and then quickly turns dark. This is post-inflammatory pigmentation. The redness of the skin is actually inflammation.

It’s just that the size of acne scars is very similar to ordinary moles, so when the acne scars are not treated with anti-inflammatory and sunscreen in time, local melanin deposition appears on the acne scars, which makes them look exactly like moles. That’s why some people mistakenly believe that acne scars will turn into moles if they are not removed.

Generally speaking, melanin is excreted from the body through metabolism, shedding with keratin or entering the blood circulation system.

However, acne scars themselves are more fragile than the surrounding healthy skin, and ultraviolet rays can enter more easily. When melanin cannot be metabolized in time for some reason, the color of the acne scar will gradually deepen. When the melanin gradually occupies the entire acne scar, it will look like a mole from the surface.

In fact, you don’t have to worry too much. As long as you do a good job of anti-inflammation and sun protection in the early stage, and increase the efforts to lighten the deposited melanin in the later stage, the black acne marks can be removed.
