Hello there!
Here's circumstances I'm in:
I can reduce my acne by doing nothing,
almost to a point that I'm quite confident in a year or so it will clear right up naturally.
But here's the thing - hyper pigmentation.
I'm a dark skinned person(I'm Asian but my skin just dark and easily tanned),every time I got pimple it left with brown hyper pigmentation which takes half year or more to fade. Or in some cases takes longer than a year.
I've heard and tempted to try azelatic acid because it treats especially good against my type of hyperpigmentation.
But the thing is, should I try it?
Afterall I'm getting better by leaving my face alone, almost to a point that I have no pimple, should I introduce a topical at this point? I'm kind of worried that it will affect my progress.
Should I just waits and waits for them to fade naturally, or use this azelaic acid?
Opinion are much appreciated!
Thanks.
I started the cavemen regimen a while ago due to pure laziness and found the my hyper pigmentation was not reducing all that effectively. I used a mix of different essential oils for scar reduction including tea tree oil, and found that it actually had a great impact. The scars I was applying them to were caused by ingrown hairs on my face, and had become infected past the point of being there for months(I'm a male).

Very helpful! Thank you! Glad to hear you're getting better by taking your own decision! I hope mine will do too!
