What It Is

Post-acne pigmentation refers to dark spots or patches left behind after acne heals. This condition, also called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), occurs when inflammation triggers excess melanin production. These marks are common on the face, especially on cheeks and jawline, and can make the skin tone look uneven even after pimples are gone.
