WHAT IS ACNE?
Acne, also known as Acne Vulgaris, is a long-term skin disease that occurs when hair follices are clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. It is characterized by black heads, white heads and pimples. It primarily affects highly oily skin. It occurs on chest, shoulder but mostly affects face.
WHAT IS ACNE SCAR?
Acne scar occurs when skin tries to much to heel the wounds caused by acne and the skin formed in this process is not as flawless as the old one. Acne scars are usually the result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. Shallow pores are usually minor and heal quickly. But if there is a deep or severe pore, infected material can spill out into surrounding tissue, creating deeper scars.
PREVENTION OF ACNE SCAR
1. Stay out of the sun. Overexposure to the sun can darken scars and make them look more prominent.
2. Do not overwash or scrub the affected area. Overwashing or scrubbing scarred areas can further heighten the appearance of the scar.
3. Do not touch the affected area with dirty hands. Bacteria from unwashed fingers and nails increase the risk of additional cysts forming, leading to the development of a larger scar.
4. Skin peels and chemical peels are often used for treatment of acne scars.
5. Microdermabrasion uses tiny crystals to physically remove the cells as well as unclogging pores, this treatment is particularly good for treating live acne as well as acne scars. This treatments are quite costly.
6. Laser treatments can also remove the surface cells but are targeted so they don't cause damage to surrounding healthy skin cells.
7. Microneedling involves multiple tiny needles puncturing the the skin to stimulate the body's natural healing process, promoting renewed skin cells.
8. The treatment mostly depends on the skin type and the severity of the problem so it is advisable to consult a Doctor.
