How to help heal a pink spot after a pimple?

I had a pimple about a week ago, that i irritated while washing my face, it popped/got scrated, for a while there was a red mark with a brown around it, it quite dark.





since then its turned lighter, its a light pink colour? is this new skin or hyperpigmentation, i have brown skin so im not sure if a pink mark would be the result of hyperpigmentation. will it go away, or should i use cream for hyperpigmentation.How to help heal a pink spot after a pimple?
I have the same problem...I get spots/pimple clusters and even when they go, they leave reddish marks for ages and my skin looks blotchy and (even though I'm 35), kinda hormonal!





I use clean and clear or neutrogena clear skin - both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too.





Any female with spots I'd recommend trying dianette or yasmin contraceptive pills because if it's hormonal, that can sort out you within weeks!





Also I'd recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex and Omega 369 oils every day because that ensures you're getting the right nutrition and also, the omega oils improve blood flow.





Another suggestion is the scrub you can get called 'resurface' or something from L'oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture - smoothes it back out.





And my final suggestion is 'sheer cover' mineral foundation. You see it on infomercials a lot...tacky I know! But it really works. You can buy it on eBay too so it's easy for you to get some to try it out. You use the tiniest amount but because it doesn't settle into enlarged pores and it contains minerals that reflect light, it disguises any kind of 'scarring' and also it stops you getting spots because it doesn't block pores. The minerals in it reflect light a bit too which acts as a kind of concealer. It's hard to explain but it's fantastic. Just make sure not to use too much - and apply with a kabuki brush starting from the outside and working in so you don't end up with an over made up nose!





I know people say make up's a no no - but because this doesn't block pores and has the added effect of stopping you touching your face too much, I think it's good. You can wear it on its own too and as long as you apply it minimally, it covers but doesn't look like you've got make up on.

I am white skin and I also get those marks too after popping a pimple. Just simply apply cocoa butter it works good for the color to just blend into your skin or just lighten. Good Luck hope it works for you. : )
