Hi all, I am a long time acne sufferer and recently I stopped getting spots/breakouts so I thought it is time to tackle the red marks.

I used the skin doctor's gamma hydroxy cream on the 17th August, and this morning (18th) I woke up to find my skin fairly red. It does not sting at all currently, nor did it sting when applying.

I am wondering whether it is a burn on the skin, or just the cream's procedure. I have attached a picture.

Please advice on how i can go about removing these red marks - they are flat and feel like normal skin just discoloured. .I am fairly sure this is post acne discolouration or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Thanks all.
