Hi,
Red spots developed post wound may be keloid or hypertrophic scar. Acne wounds or any other injury may develop into scar. Keloid is the overgrowth of scar tissue over the normal scar. The size of the keloid may more than the actual wound. Management of the keloid is excision, laser therapy and steroid injection to prevent inflammatory reaction.
Hypertrophic scar is other common type of scar overgrowth. Size of the hypertrophic scar must within the actual scar tissue. This type of scar does not active intervention. It will subside on its own without any active intervention. The fact is that keloid mostly does not cause any symptoms except occasional itching. Visit the dermatologist for further evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
