What causes acne scars?

Causes of pimples scars and acne dark spots on face vary. But dermatologist concluded that scare occur because of inflammation, which can be traced to:

• Picking skin
• Untreated acne
• Genetic predisposition

 

And popping your blemishes and acne is the culprits of them all. And the scars following the temptation of picking pimples have four main categories:

1. Rolling scars occur when "skin heals with an uneven, wavy contour" after "moderate to severe acne."
2. Ice-pick scars leave skin with a "linear depression" ("sort of like a cut that wasn't stitched up," she explains).
3. Boxcar scars are box-like scars that leave a "wider, depressed" scar.
4. Keloid scars occur when the skin produces too much collagen, giving scars a raised appearance.

 

For acne dark spots, they are discoloration from inflammation of acne, causing hyperpigmentation.

How to Avoid Acne Scars?

Prevention means stopping something from happening before it starts. Same for acne scars. First thing first, stop picking your breakouts.

 

Another way is to pick a face cleanser and/or toner with blemish-busting benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.
