Pih Or Scarring? Posted: 05-31-07 22:29pm


After I get a pimple there is almost always a red spot left behind. It isn't sunken in nor is it raised. They last from months to years! I've always thought they were scars....but I've read somewhere that it could just be post inflammatory hyperpigmentation(PIH). So, How do I tell the difference?
