The effects of acne scars can be detrimental both physically and emotionally. The wounds, although cured, leave behind blemishes and marks that are quite unlikeable. Nothing has been found to entirely eliminate acne scarring. However, an knowledge of your skin may aid in relieving your acne problem s possible long-term damage.
Acne is the due to reaction between bacteria and sebum released by the glands present in skin, leading to an infection. During the healing period of this condition, a fibrous protein called collagen is made. When the collagen is in excess, there is a lump and when its generation is below normal then it results in tiny craters on the skin. Acne scars develop in both these situations. Teenagers are usually most prone to acne as the hormone levels increase during puberty causing more sebum discharge.
An acne scar is a result of our tissue s power to revive itself after sustaining an injury. After the human skin suffers injuries, which involves acne, the body tries to heal the broken tissue. However, the tissue cannot always be rejuvenated to its pre-injury state. There in truth is no precise study referring why several people land up with acne scars and why some luckily do not. To attempt to explain this, people have postulated that scarring merely runs in the blood . Thus, scarring is believed a hereditary curse. Some also scar permanently, while some people have scars that eventually vanish through time.
Since we have very small knowledge on acne scars, the advisable way to hamper acne scars then would be to avoid its source which is acne.
