[Dermatologist Lee Yudeuk]

Hello,

A place that creates a comfortable face, not excessive change.

This is Leejham Dermatology.

Are you worried about marks that remain?

Today, I’d like to talk about managing chest acne marks, a concern many people have. It is an area that can be as bothersome as the face, but because it is covered by clothing, many people miss the right time to care for it. I often meet people who say that their confidence drops before summer outfits or special occasions. Such concerns are more common than you might think, and with the right approach at the right time, they can move in a positive direction.

A beauty consultation that helps you

I am dermatologist Lee Yudeuk.

I understand how you feel

Acne has improved, but

you are still struggling

with the marks left behind.

When it comes to summer clothing, you may feel restricted,

or hesitate to visit a pool or

jjimjilbang.

These concerns go beyond

appearance alone and are

connected to confidence in daily life.

With the right approach,

you can look for the possibility

of change.

Understanding pigmentation

Chest acne marks refer to the

pigmentation or redness left on

the skin as inflammation calms

down.

As inflammatory changes occur

and then subside, the skin tries

to recover on its own. During

this process, melanin pigment

may be produced excessively or

blood vessels may expand,

leaving red or brown marks.

Compared with the face, the

chest area has thicker skin and

tends to have more active sebum

production.

Because there is a lot of

irritation from friction with

clothing and sweat, it is an

environment where problems can

easily arise.

If you touch it with your hands,

the inflammation can become

deeper, and the marks may be

even darker.

Why should you pay attention?

Marks are not just a cosmetic

issue; they also have a strong

psychological impact.

Especially if you are dealing

with this concern at a young

age, it can lower your

confidence and create

restrictions in daily life.

You may feel self-conscious when

choosing clothes, and even

hesitate to travel with friends.

What matters is that if you take

the right approach at the right

time, you can look forward to

positive change.

What approaches are there?

Chest acne mark management

varies depending on the type and

depth of the marks.

Red marks and brown marks have

different characteristics, so an

accurate evaluation should come

first.

IPL uses a broad wavelength

range of light to selectively act

on pigmentation and dilated

blood vessels in the skin.

In particular, red marks are

often caused by dilated blood

vessels, and IPL is used for

these vascular lesions.

Treatment is usually performed

at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks,

and although individual

differences exist, you may

observe gradual changes after

multiple sessions.

Laser toning is also something

to consider.

It is especially used for brown

pigmentation, and the principle

is that the laser penetrates deep

into the skin and breaks down

melanin pigment.

Care in daily life

Chest acne marks can move in a

better direction when skin clinic

care is combined with daily

precautions.

First, sunscreen is more

important than anything else.

This is because ultraviolet rays

can make pigmentation darker.

When you are outdoors in the

summer, apply sunscreen

carefully to the chest area as

well.

Second, it is better to wear

breathable cotton clothing to

minimize irritation from friction

and sweat.

Third, exfoliation can also help.

However, if you do it too often

or rub too hard, it can irritate

the skin instead, so gentle care

with a mild product once or

twice a week is enough.

A journey we take together

Skin care is more than simply

addressing what is visible on

the surface; it is a process of

regaining confidence and daily

happiness.

Most important of all is natural

results without excess and long-

term trust.

Every skin is different.

Leejham Dermatology aims to

provide not a one-size-fits-all

approach, but evaluation and

solutions suited to each person’s

skin.

If you are worried about chest

acne marks, we recommend not

worrying alone and instead

finding a care direction that

suits you through a consultation

with medical staff.

Even if it takes time, if you

continue caring for it steadily,

you can experience positive

changes.

In order to become the name you

think of first when skin concerns

arise, we will continue to

provide honest and safe care

without change.
