Acne, known medically as Acne Vulgaris, is broadly accepted as part of puberty but it can also occur well into adulthood. For those affected with the condition, the distress goes beyond the physical. It is a huge dent on the confidence.

what causes acne?

Acne occurs when oil and dead skin cells clog up the pores. This combination causes swelling leading to infection and pus. Aside from puberty, genetics, hormonal imbalance and using oil-based skin products are also factors behind its appearance.

Besides the face, where else does acne grow?

Acne typically appears on the face, chest, shoulders, neck and back. Although the condition is not classified as dangerous, it can leave scars and marks on skin.

What kind of acnes are there?

There are several treatments available to address the different types of acne conditions such as:
• Non-inflammatory acne (comedones): Blackheads, whiteheads
• Inflammatory acne: Papules, Pustules, Nodules and Cysts

Why do acne leave scars?

Cystic pimples are inflammatory acne which involves more white blood cells rushing to the area and because there are more enzymes in that area, it leads to more destruction. The skin then tries to desperately heal itself which results in a scar. There is a major difference between acne marks and scars.

What kind of acne scars are there?

• Rolling scars – broad depressions with sloping edge.
• Boxcar scars – broad depressions with with sharply defined edges.
• Atrophic scars – flat, thin scars or depressed scars (anetoderma)
• Hypertrophic or keloid scars – thick lumpy scars. Unlike ice pick or boxcar scars, hypertrophic scars are not caused by a loss of tissue. Rather, they develop because of an overproduction of collagen.

Can acne scars be healed?

The skin then tries to desperately heal itself which results in a scar. There is a major difference between acne marks and scars. Acne scars are deep indentations that are usually caused from picking at a blemish (though not always). They take much longer to remove and and can only be erased with laser treatment.
