Description

Post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), also known as “redness after lesions,” “post-acne redness,” or “pink-to-red discoloration after acne,” refers to persistent red, pink, or even purplish flat marks that linger on the skin after pimples or other inflammatory breakouts have healed. Unlike acne scars or dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), these red spots are caused by damaged blood vessels close to the skin’s surface rather than changes in pigment or skin texture. People with lighter skin are more likely to develop PIE, especially after acne, and this redness can last for months if left untreated. Protecting your skin from the sun and seeking gentle treatments can help fade these stubborn red marks and restore a clearer, more even complexion. Whether you know them as red acne scars, pimple redness, or leftover pink spots, effective solutions like IPL therapy are now available in South Korea to help you regain your skin’s natural glow.
