Tagging along with the endless pimple pains is the lesser spoken about road bump—the dark spots caused by them. While redness, swelling and scars have created chatter between beauty gurus and skin fanatics, the dark section (quiet literally) gets overlooked. And if these dull spots are curbing you from unleashing your inner diva, we've reached out to the best in the business; dermatologist and trichologist Dr. Mrunal Shah Modi for a few much-needed answers.
So, what's the relation between an inflamed pimple and a dark spot? Let's get enlightened! When a pimple surfaces on your skin, it's technically a form of inflammation—which needs immediate healing. And as your skin recovers, the new cells sometimes contain too much melanin—the pigment that gives your skin its colour. As the melanin cells collect, that part of the skin becomes darker—therefore, leaving you with those stubborn dark patches. Also, it's true that picking or squeezing a pimple can increase your chances of getting dark spots caused by pimples! So be aware, ladies—keep your hands away from your dermis and save yourself the drama.
