Acne Scars Problem

Acne Scars can be a double punishment

First you had to deal with the pimples, now you have scars as a reminder.
To understand acne scars, you need to understand acne.

Acne refers to injuries or pimples caused when the hair follicles on the skin become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. A plugged follicle is the ideal place for bacteria to grow and create the red bumps and pus-filled red bumps known as pimples. Hormonal changes during the teen years often cause increased oil production that contributes to the problem.

Acne comes in different forms:

• Mild acne, which refers to the whiteheads or blackheads that most of us get at various times
• Moderately severe acne, which includes red inflamed pimples called papules and red pimples with white centers called pustules
• Severe acne, which causes nodules — painful, pus-filled cysts or lumps — to appear under the skin
