Is it harmful to use ginger slices to remove acne scars?

Everyone knows that ginger can promote hair growth and eyebrow growth. However, many people don’t know that ginger can be used to remove acne scars. In addition to laser and microneedle treatments for acne scars, you can also try ginger. Ginger slices have a more obvious effect on improving acne scars. Ginger also has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. Ginger has an anti-inflammatory effect on red and swollen pimples and is very helpful for the healing of acne scars. However, for sensitive skin, ginger may irritate the skin and cause allergies such as redness. In this case, do not continue to use it to avoid discomfort. If your skin is not allergic, you can try using ginger to remove acne scars. Ginger is also more economical. Let’s talk specifically about whether it is harmful to use ginger slices to remove acne scars?

1. Introduction

Old ginger is of medium quality and hot in nature. It has the effects of clearing the meridians and relieving inflammation.

2. Steps

1. The netizens who accepted the verification followed the method of using ginger to remove acne scars. After washing their face every night, they cut two slices of fresh ginger and applied them to the acne scars. Then they lay flat on the bed and pressed with their hands to make the ginger slices stick tightly to the skin. Remove it after 15-20 minutes (your face will feel hot and spicy and some redness and swelling will appear. This is normal because ginger is hot and irritating.) After applying, wipe the applied area gently with a tissue. No need to wash your face, just go to bed directly.

2. So how effective is ginger in removing acne scars? A week later, netizens gave their feedback. The results verified by netizens can be roughly divided into four types: one is that ginger is effective in removing acne scars, and changes can be seen on the second to third day. The acne scar removal effect is obvious after a week, but it only works on new acne and has little effect on old acne scars and pimples; the second is just the opposite. They reported that ginger is ineffective in removing acne scars, but is very useful in treating acne, and there was a significant improvement in acne within a week; the third said that ginger has little effect on removing acne and acne scars; the last type is the worst. After using ginger on the face, they experienced allergic reactions of varying degrees and stopped using it one after another. There is quite a lot of people in this category, accounting for nearly 30%.

3. There are not many netizens participating in the verification, so the results of the netizens' verification are for reference only. Considering that many people have experienced allergic symptoms after using ginger, and the effect of removing acne and scars is not perfect, I suggest that you do not blindly try to use ginger to remove acne scars, especially those with allergic skin and thin cuticles. In fact, using acne-removing products that do not contain irritating ingredients is also a safe and effective method.

3. Notes

People with keloid tendencies should be especially cautious when dealing with acne scars. Keloid lesions are common on the chin, chest, back, arms and other parts of the body. Because this body type is prone to scar proliferation, if it is not treated properly, after the acne heals, red lumps will grow on the wound, and the area may even be larger than the original acne.
