About acne & acne scars at SkinWise
Whiteheads, inflamed spots and painful deeper lumps can occur together. Tell the dermatologist if acne is leaving scars, affecting your confidence or not responding to treatment. These concerns matter even when the number of visible spots seems small.
An effective plan considers what you have tried, how regularly you could use it and whether it irritated your skin. Pregnancy plans, other medicines and any accompanying hormonal symptoms can change the choices. Severe acne should not be left untreated while waiting through a fixed skincare-only phase.

When an assessment may help
- Persistent or recurring breakouts
- Painful nodules, new scars or dark marks
- Acne that affects confidence or daily life
- Treatment that is difficult to tolerate or has stopped helping
When to reassess or defer treatment
- A painful spreading rash, fever or rapidly worsening swelling needs prompt assessment.
- Pregnancy or pregnancy planning changes medicine choices; tell the dermatologist before treatment.
How treatment is planned
Select treatment
Evidence supports several topical and systemic options. The choice depends on the clinical picture; oral treatment may be appropriate for severe, scarring or resistant acne.
Use medicines appropriately
Antibiotic treatment should be limited and combined appropriately to reduce resistance. Isotretinoin requires careful counselling, pregnancy precautions and monitoring where indicated. Your own prescription sets the instructions.
Separate marks and scars
Control of ongoing acne helps prevent new damage. Pigmentation care and scar procedures are planned around inflammation, skin recovery and the proposed intervention, without a universal three-month waiting rule.

Frequently asked questions
Will I need isotretinoin?
That depends on severity, scarring, the effect on your life and previous treatment. It can be appropriate for selected patients and requires an individual discussion of risks, pregnancy precautions and monitoring.
Are dark marks the same as scars?
Flat colour changes after acne are different from pits or raised scars. They can occur together, but they need different treatment discussions.
Can I treat acne with a peel alone?
A peel may be an adjunct for selected concerns. It does not replace an appropriate medical plan for persistent inflammatory or scarring acne.
When should I return?
Agree a review point with your dermatologist and contact the clinic sooner for significant irritation or worsening. Response varies with the treatment and acne severity.
Evidence behind these choices
- Acne treatment: American Academy of Dermatology guideline (2024)
Supports treatment matched to acne severity and impact, appropriate combinations and limiting antibiotic use. These general points also appear in the AAD's current guidance; consult the linked correction alongside the original paper.
- Post-acne scar management in skin of colour (2020)
Scar shape, depth and skin response guide procedure selection. This evidence review includes expert judgement where trials are limited and does not support a fixed session count or complete scar removal.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in skin of colour (2024)
This systematic review found varied, limited evidence across treatments. Procedures can also worsen pigmentation; published response rates are not predictions for an individual patient.
