How To
Treat Acne For Black Skin

Acne
treatment for black skin is the same as that for white skin, with some
exceptions. Some treatments for acne scars may cause temporary
lightening of dark skin. Very dark or black skin may be less
well-moisturized than lighter skin, so topicals like benzoyl peroxide
that have a drying effect on the skin should be used under the
supervision of a dermatologist.
Darker skin has a tendency to develop excessive skin darkening at
places where the skin was inflamed. Severe inflammatory acne (cysts and
nodules) may result in dark spots. The spots disappear over time; a
dermatologist may be able to recommend cosmetic measures to make the
spots less apparent until they resolve. Some acne treatments, such as
topical retinoids and azelaic acid, may also help fade the
discoloration.
Alterations of melanin (dark pigments that give the skin its color)
pigmentation such as vitiligo and melasma are not related to acne, but
they may be present simultaneously with acne. The diagnosis and
treatment of melanin pigmentation disorders such as vitiligo requires a
dermatologist with knowledge and experience in treating these
conditions.
Many doctors feel that laser resurfacing isn’t meant for dark skin
because it alters the color of skin too dramatically and unpredictably.
Others believe that in the hands of a very experienced surgeon, people
with darker skin tones can benefit.
