Acne is a skin condition that does not cause life threatening problems but can cause an acne scar to stay around for a long time damaging self-esteem. Most every young adult who is going through or has gone through puberty is a victim of acne. The hormones produce too much sebum, or oil in the skin, and acne breakouts occur. It is an inevitable fact that acne will appear but the acne scar does not have to be a memory it leaves behind. The eight tips listed here will help to remove the scar.

I’ve recently gotten my breakouts to stop, making my acne scars more visible. I can mostly cover them up with makeup but i’d rather just get rid of the scars. So if I used regular scar removing cream (like the stuff you can get at a drug store) would it help to remove (or lighten) my scars?

By the way I used tree oil mixed with witch hazel, it got rid of my breakouts within a few days.

HELP !

The emergence of acne scar removal procedures has given hope to people who have suffered the marks of this common skin condition. Technological advances and improved knowledge among practitioners have made sure that severe acne does not leave a souvenir on our skin.

Acne scar removal can start with a basic ointment applied to the damaged area. Certain ointments, like Colchinin, Verapamil, Pentoxilifin and Neosporin, are effective in erasing darkened spots or scars that have no heights but have caused a part of the skin to darken or get discolored.

Hi. I have a couple dark spots (or maybe scars) on my nose due to past pimples. Can I remove them or are they there for life? If yes, how? No plastic surgery please.

I’m reposting because I didn’t get the answers I want before. These are not acne scars. They’re from pimples, I’m not sure if it’s the same. Also, many of you said they take a year to fade but they’ve been there for a few years. I’m 17. Thanks =)

The usual causes of acne scarring may often be attributed to late, inadequate or failed methods of treatment, where the skin infection was allowed to progress before any treatment was used. The most common root cause of acne scarring is inflammatory nodular acne or nodulocystic acne, where lesions go deeper into the skin, affecting the surrounding tissue. The damage, when healed, results in a scar.

Another cause for acne is the manipulation of the pimples. People who press, prick or squeeze their pimples damage the skin, causing tearing and bleeding. This manipulation can also lead to further skin infection, aggravating the acne and producing unnecessary scars. There are also certain areas of the face that can suffer more from acne breakouts. The temples, for example, may not recover as well as cheeks do because there is less circulation in those areas.

Acne is a problem that most people will experience to one degree or another especially during puberty. In its severest form it can leave permanent scarring that will last last a life time and can be a real cause of emotional stress and anxiety especially if it is very prominent on the face. Fortunately there is a solution in the form of an acne scar cream.

The scars that are left by acne are defined by the shape in which they occur. The most common type of scarring is known as ice pick scarring, a type of scar which is pointed and deeply indented into the skin. The scars may also be box shaped, concave or wavy. It doesn’t matter what type of scars you have, however, the depth of them is what really determines how visible they are going to be.
