Acne Scars |
 |
|
Acne scars occur when
blackheads or whiteheads on the skin are not removed or
cleaned properly. These forms of acne on the face can cause
bacteria to spread on the face and other places on the body,
and acne scar treatment becomes necessary when these
blemishes do not heal right away. Even after the actual
blackhead or whitehead is gone, there may still be a scar on
the skin from when the impurity of the acne was removed.
Acne blemish treatment is available for both types of acne
scars, and these acne scars can occur on different types of
skin. |

Why they
Occur? |
|
|
Acne scars occur when the face
is not cleaned properly, or when a blemish is removed from
the face in an improper manner. Therefore by preventing acne
scars you are protecting your skin. If you have blemishes
and acnes or acne blemishes you must take proper care of
your skin. You can get rid of acne blemishes by cleaning
your face often so that new breakouts will not occur. By
exfoliating on a regular basis you can remove dead skin
cells from your face so that you can avoid the risk of
having bacteria settle on your skin. |

Types of Acne Scars?
Pitted or Ice-Pick Scars:
Occur more on the cheeks and make the skin look like it had
been jabbed with an ice-pick. They are usually small, with a
somewhat jagged edge and steep sides. Ice-pick scars may be
shallow or deep, and may be hard or soft to the touch. Soft
scars can be improved by stretching the skin; hard ice-pick
scars cannot be stretched out. |

Depressed fibrotic scars: Are often large with steep
sides and sharp edges. The root-base of depressed fibrotic scars
is solid to the touch. With time ice-pick scars can develop
into depressed fibrotic scars.
Soft scars: Can be deep or superficial. They are soft
to the touch. And have gently sloping rolled edges that
blend or merge with the normal surrounding skin. They are
usually small, and either circular or linear in shape and do
not progress or enlarge.
Atrophic macules : The size of these scars depends on
where in the body they are present. They are usually fairly
small when they occur on the face. They are soft, often with
a slightly wrinkled base, and may be bluish in appearance
due to blood vessels lying just under the surface of the
scar.
Follicular Macular atrophy : This type of acne scar
is more likely to occur on the chest or back of a person
with acne. These look like small, white, soft lesions, often
barely raised above the surface of the ski. Somewhat like
whiteheads that never broke the surface of the skin or
didn't fully develop. This condition is sometimes also
called "perifollicular elastolysis." The lesions may be
stubborn and persist for months or years when untreated |
