A member asked:

Please help! i have dark purple/red marks on my face due to acne, and wanted to know how long they roughly take to fade?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Months: You do need to manage your acne. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in a few weeks, get with your personal physician. The purple is your skin restoring itself -- you need to leave it alone. Acne is a chronic, non-lifestyle-related illness and you're able to keep it under control until it remits on its own.
