Acne may go away, but the dark spots it leaves behind can stay for weeks—or even months. These post-acne marks, also known as hyperpigmentation, are common but frustrating. If you’re tired of chemical creams and want a gentle, natural solution, Ayurveda offers time-tested remedies that can help fade these spots from the inside out.
At Skin Heal Solutions, we specialize in combining modern dermatology with authentic Ayurvedic healing to deliver safe and effective skin treatments.
What Causes Dark Spots After Pimples?
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Skin produces excess melanin while healing.
Picking/Squeezing Pimples: Leads to deeper skin trauma and scarring.
Sun Exposure: Worsens pigmentation when spots are not protected.
Hormonal Imbalance: Especially in teens, PCOD, or stress-related acne.
How Ayurveda Explains It
In Ayurveda, dark spots are linked to imbalanced Pitta dosha (excess heat in the body) and impure blood (Rakta Dushti). A poor lifestyle, unhealthy food, and mental stress also contribute to toxin accumulation (Ama) in the system, which manifests as stubborn skin marks.
