Ethnic Skin Acne
Acne affects every ethnicity, aside from a few remote hunter/gatherer tribes.
Hyperpigmenation: People with non-Caucasian skin tend to suffer much more with red or dark marks that linger on the skin after acne lesions heal. These marks are called hyperpigmentation.
Treatment: Acne develops and is treated in the same way regardless of skin color.
