greg06 0 Share Posted October 14, 2006 1) Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (red-colored) will probably respond best to the steroids (which can thin skin =O) or Tazorac etc.2) If #1 fails, VBEAM can help marks due to broken blood vessels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Locked In Grace Share Posted October 14, 2006 Yeah Vascular scarring, finally someone else on the boards has a theory similar to what i've been told. There are a few modalities to fix Vascular scarring, they work on normalising the pigment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
� © 0 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Redmarks are due to vascular scarring.What about, for dark skin people like me, the redmarks always turn brown and would not fade easily? Brown blood??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grapesrgood 0 Share Posted October 14, 2006 no its not brown blood. ur skin just didnt heal properly after the redmarks went away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
� © 0 Share Posted October 14, 2006 If my skin healed properly...redmarks will not turn into brownmark, instead, they disappear completely?Ok...what to do to make my skin heals properly?Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beany 0 Share Posted October 14, 2006 nah, i have very pale skin. and my red marks turn to brown and then they go away. once they turn brown i know they r healing...for me anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
� © 0 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Ya, I agree.My brownmarks are fading too, but extremely slow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
libbycopeland 0 Share Posted October 14, 2006 no its not brown blood. ur skin just didnt heal properly after the redmarks went away. I don't know about this. Darker skinned people such as myself, tend to get brown marks, instead of the red ones light-skinned people get. Unless you are saying all marks, red and brown, are signs of improper healing I have to disagree with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
� © 0 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I agree with you too, libbycopeland.I don't get redmarks easily, but brownmarks lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackiechan24 2 Share Posted October 15, 2006 redmarks are blood below the skin, when those marks dont heal properly, theyre labled as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation when they turn brown. darker skinned people are more prone to this because our bodies produce more melanin than light skinned people.

I agree, and thought that if we use 'something' to decrease the melanin production while redmarks are healing, then we would not get brownmarks afterward? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

� © 0 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Ya, I get it.So, how to properly heal the redmark so that it does not turn into brown? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackiechan24 2 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Ya, I get it. So, how to properly heal the redmark so that it does not turn into brown? im not sure that you can. its just the way the body produces melanin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
� © 0 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Sad.The post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation I get is always darker than the rest of my skin colour. This is explained due to the fact that more melanin is being produced for healing purpose, and as a result, hyperpigmentation is formed.So, I was thinking that if we can DECREASE this melanin formation during inflammation, then as least the hyperpigmentation will not be that dark?

So, I was thinking that if we can DECREASE this melanin formation during inflammation, then as least the hyperpigmentation will not be that dark? its easier said than done. we would have to have more understanding about the healing process than to just say to stop the production of melanin. however, topical products like hydroquinone shrink the melanocytes that cause the overproduction of melanin, but i'm not sure how it affects the PIH while the mark is actually healing.
