Treatments for red mark from a pimple

I have a red mark left over from a pimple on my cheek. It's been there for more than a month already and it seems to be getting worse the more I leave it untreated. What kind of treatments can I do to it to make it go away?

Hi Junior

Red marks take a LONG time to fade...Usually 6 months. Maybe more. To speed it up, apply something with glycolic acid or something with Vitamin C. Also exfoliating with an exfoliating wash or something would speeed up the process

Ok thanks. What about neutrogena acne mark fading peel or whatever that's called?

I tried it once. It turned my face REALLY red an sort of dull for like a week and then it brightened up the next week. Just use exfoliating scrubs and anything with glycolic.

Re: Treatments for red mark from a pimple

Try putting lemon juice on your face once a day. This makes my red marks fade SOOOO much faster than anything else I have tried. But a warning, right after you put it on, it may itch and burn until it dries, but it only lasts a minute or so....just be strong and don't touch it until it dries, and just keep thinking that a little discomfort is worth your skin looking better!
