POST-INFLAMMATORY ERYTHEMA
Red/pink marks caused by blood vessel damage from trauma to the skin, like acne. It’s more common in the lighter skin tones.
Unlike traditional hyperpigmentation, PIE is rooted in vascular changes rather than excess melanin production.
Topical treatments often help. Sometimes laser or peels maybe be required as well. Regular sunscreen application & re-application is mist important.
