What Leads To Acne Scars And How To Cure Them

By Raymart Chan

Acne is an a matter of serious concern, particularly for girls, as it sprouts up suddenly and its marks stay long after the acne is gone. Irrespective of your dislike for it, acne can not be avoided by an average teenager and a lot of care is needed in order to get rid of these scars and preventing them from appearing again.

When the sebum secreted by skin glands comes in contact with bacteria, it causes an infection, which is referred to as acne. In the healing stage of this infection, a protein named collagen is created under the skin. If collagen goes beyond normal levels, it results in a swelling, and if it is below normal, it causes tiny depressions on the face. Either of these eventualities can give rise to acne scars. Teenagers usually suffer a lot more than others as the amount of hormones increase rapidly during the period of puberty leading to increased release of sebum.

Some of the typical factors that result in an acne infection include intake of medicines, regular use of oral contraceptives, applying beauty products that do not go with the skin type and genetic reasons. Certain lifestyle factors like tension, improper diet, and living in a polluted area can also lead to acne. But as against what a majority of people believe, researchers have not discovered any connection between oily food and acne.

Irrespective of the variety of herbal skin-care products that claim to heal acne and that are being sold to consumers at different shops, it is better to get medical opinion if the condition worsens or if it keeps on recurring. Abstaining from squeezing the lesion or jabbing it with any pointed object is a must to prevent aggravation of acne.

An increasing number of people are also opting for cosmetic treatments to get rid of acne scars and to get back a skin free of scars and blemishes. Laser treatment and surgery are also being used increasingly for getting rid of acne scars, in addition to many innovative treatments that have been discovered by medical science. You must take advice from a reputed skin doctor who would be able to identify your skin type and recommend an effective remedy accordingly.
