I don't have any pimples but just red marks.
However, pimples sometimes do form in that area.
I've had these marks for about 2-3 years now.

It this acne or scars?
What could i do to get rid of them?

Thank you in advance!

Mild hyperpigmentation.

Manual exfoliation with a baby brush has helped for my redmarks.

Hello. You've got a bit of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Gentle exfoliation with a baby's hair brush with your normal cleanser while in the shower will help fade those, and help clear up closed and open comedones.

You might also consider adding in an AHA product like glycolic acid 10%. Be sure you apply sunblock when going outside because sun exposure will simply cause the red marks to stay longer.

Superficial chemical peels will also help those marks, but I wouldn't try that first!

Interests:I'm currently majoring in biological sciences and minoring in Mass communication in Nanyang technological university. I'm studying this both because I have loved biology since my secondary school days and since then moved on to like microbiology and genetics but I hate biochemistry and biophysics and anything mathematical. I started taking mass communication in my sophomore year, wanted to minor in psychology but after crashing my friend's class, I realised that mass comn interests me more. My interests include watching Television, hanging out with friends, swimming and playing tennis. I am currently into martial arts and am taking Tae Kwon Do. I am a christian, used to be Catholic, now Evangelist I have a younger brother 5 years younger who doesn't have acne problems. I am also kinda short only 4ft11, 149cm so I dislike people who make fun of my height.
