Question

What can I use to remove the black spot from Pimples on my face

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

To address and reduce the appearance of dark spots left by pimples, here are some recommendations:

Topical Treatments:

Hydroquinone: This is a skin-lightening agent that can help fade dark spots. Use under the guidance of a dermatologist, as it can be irritating for some skin types.
Vitamin C: A serum containing vitamin C can help brighten the skin and reduce pigmentation over time.
Retinoids: Products containing retinoids (like tretinoin) can promote cell turnover and help fade dark spots.
Azelaic Acid: This can help even out skin tone and is often well-tolerated.
Exfoliation:

Chemical Exfoliants: Use products with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to gently exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover.
Avoid Physical Scrubs: These can be abrasive and may worsen pigmentation or irritate the skin.
Sun Protection:

Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily to prevent dark spots from becoming more pronounced due to sun exposure.
Consultation: If over-the-counter treatments are not effective, consider consulting a dermatologist for professional treatments such as chemical peels, laser therapy, or prescription-strength creams.

Consistency: Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine, as fading dark spots can take time.

These steps can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and improve your overall skin tone.
