There are several types of acne scars: PIE (Post Inflammatory Erythema) and PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation). So, if your acne scars haven't gone away despite using various methods, you may be treating them wrong. Therefore, you need to know the differences and how to treat them.

Get to know PIE acne scars

Acne scars with the PIE (Post Inflammatory Erythema) type have a reddish or purplish color, usually often found in people with light skin, but not infrequently. They can also occur in people who have dark skin. This type of acne scar occurs due to enlarged blood vessels caused by inflammation. Now inflammation occurs due to exposure to sunlight and the habit of squeezing pimples and using skincare unsuitable for facial skin conditions.

How to deal with PIE acne scars

PIE acne scars occur due to enlarged blood vessels. However, you need to know that physical or chemical exfoliation is not recommended for getting rid of this type of acne scar because these two methods cannot fade blood vessels and have the potential to irritate the skin.

The way you can do to deal with reddish acne scars is to use skincare products that are soothing the skin, such as green tea, grapeseed oil, salicylic acid, and tea tree oil. However, if this method has been done, but the acne scars don't go away, then you can do a laser procedure on facial skin.

Get to know PIH acne scars

In contrast to PIE, PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) acne scars have a blackish-brown color caused by increased melanin production due to inflammation and usually occur in people with dark skin. This increased production of melanin causes dark spots on acne scars of the PIH type.

How to deal with PIH acne scars

To treat PIH acne scars more easily than PIE, you can use skincare that contains lightening ingredients such as niacinamide and alpha arbutin. Apart from that, you can also do physical and chemical exfoliation.

So here are the differences between PIE (Post Inflammatory Erythema) and PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) acne scars and how to treat them. Hope this helps, Ladies!
