What Are Acne Scars?

It is a common practice of a person with acne to squeeze his or her pimples in order to pop the pus out of the pimple, and shorten the life of the acne. How much this act is correct and how much it works is still a mystery as it may work for many, but on the other hand, it may leave a mark on the others.

Although squeezing a pimple may make it look smaller, and it may dry it up faster, yet, it may also damage the skin to an extent that the pimple leaves a maroon or brown scar. Generally such scars take a year to fade away.

This is not the only kind of scar that may appear as a result of acne. In fact, the above mentioned scarring is a relatively mild one. Severe scarring results from acne that stays on the skin for a while or ends up in a cyst. The bacteria that grows in the acne-prone skin and resides in the pores may make the skin worse and leave a long-term mark or scar. Scarring may also take place if one tries to pluck the white or blackheads manually, which may result in a skin reaction.

The acne scars that are not treated in due course of time may end up being permanent marks or they may take a lot of years to fade away. However, due to the development in medical sciences, scar removing techniques are introduced every other day in the form of creams, ointments, gels, lotions, medicines and laser treatments. These treatments not only cure normal scars, they may even eliminate high level scarring from your face.
