How to get rid of acne scars

Scars are a common problem that worries many people. It is also called post-acne. Most often teenagers face this problem. After the appearance pimple, people try in every possible way to get rid of it, without thinking about the consequences. If you approach this situation incorrectly, after the pimple heals, a scar will form, which may not heal in the future. But it is still possible to cope with this problem.

Causes of scars

Let's talk in more detail about the causes of scars, since forewarned is forearmed. Among the main reasons are the following:

• removal of blackheads by squeezing;
  
• improper acne treatment;
• diseases, one of the symptoms of which is a rash;
• fungus on the skin of the face;
• large pimple size;
• weakened immunity.

Most often, acne, and then scars, appear on sensitive and delicate skin, since this is where bacteria develop most quickly. But any skin must be properly cared for. In the absence of proper procedures, the risk of acne and scarring subsequently increases significantly.

After acne ripen and burst, in their place small pits (craters) always form. They rarely heal without a trace.

It is very important to replace the tissue scarring process to prevent its further development. The first stage is the appearance of an open wound that becomes inflamed. The reason for this is the external influence of negative factors. When microbes enter the wound, the immune system begins to work actively, that is, to fight the infection. If a person has good immunity, the wound will heal quickly and without a trace. Otherwise, there is an excessive release of hormones, which provokes the further appearance of acne. During wound healing, the growth of granular tissue is activated. Over time, the wound begins to narrow, and the space that was previously affected slowly fills with collagen. During this process, the epidermis begins to grow rapidly. The duration of complete healing of the consequences of a pimple depends on many factors. The depressions filled with scar tissue may gradually disappear over many years.
