Treating Acne Scarring On Black Skin

Last week we looked at what causes adult onset Acne, but today i will like to look at treatment options available for treating scarring on the black skin. Skin scarring is embarrassing and difficult to deal with at any age. Black skin is susceptible to acne scarring, which can lead dark blemishes. Using black skin products is one way to prevent unsightly scarring, and there are also ways to treat scarring once it occurs.

Treating acne with black skin products the moment an outbreak becomes evident will help reduce the chances of scarring. The moment bumps become noticeable, start treating the affected area with acne facial washes and astringents. Rubbing alcohol and witch hazel are good alternatives to expensive over the counter acne wipes. When using these products to treat acne, follow up the treatment with acne fighting moisturising lotion. Excessive drying caused by acne products can sometimes do as much harm to black skin as acne.

If a break persists after using astringent, treat the area with acne creams that are designed to prevent blemishes. These creams will often include a bleaching agent that will reduce, or completely prevent, acne scarring on black skin. If hyperpigmentation (dark spots) occur even with the use of a cream, the areas can be treated with fading cream.  These creams are often created to be used to reduce the appearance of scars, and are perfect for treating acne related blemishes. To avoid accidently bleaching unaffected areas, apply fade cream directly to spots using a Q tip.

In some situations scarring cannot be bleached using over the counter black skin products.  If this happens, visit a dermatologist with experience treating scarring on black skin.
