Acne Scars: How To Prevent Them

Prevention of Acne Scars

The occurrence of scarring is different in different people. It is difficult to predict who will get acne scars, or how extensive or deep acne scars will be, and how long acne scars will persist. It is also difficult to predict how successfully acne scars can be prevented by effective acne treatment.

However, the only sure method of preventing or limiting the extent of scars is to treat acne early in its course, and as long as necessary. The more that inflammation can be prevented, the more likely it is that scars can be prevented. Any person with acne who has a known tendency to scar should be under the care of a dermatologist.

Types of Acne Scars

There are two common types of acne scars, defined by tissue response to inflammation: scars caused by increased tissue formation, and scars caused by loss of tissue.

I cured acne after reading a book called No Acne for Me. I thought there were no cure or treatment but apperently I looked the wrong places. Acne free and acne cure - get this book.
