All About Acne Scars

By Matt Cotton

Many people find that they are left with a reminder of acne for the rest of their lives in the form of scars. While there are methods of getting rid of scars on both the back and face they are quite expensive and it is best to avoid getting scar altogether if at all possible.

Acne scars happen when the acne causes a build up of bacteria in the pores of the skin. This clogs the pores and makes them swell so the body has to try and heal them. However this can lead to scar tissue building up in the area which is what scars actually are.

The reason that acne scars form is of course because of acne so the quicker you can get rid of acne the better.

One example of where acne remedies can actually make acne worse is when people try and get a tan to cover up their acne. This doesn't help acne at all and the drying of the skin can make things worse. This is one occasion where acne home remedy is definitely not a good idea.

Your dermatologist will be able to give you the best advice when it comes to reducing the amount of acne you have and hence the chance of getting scars. Ask your doctor to refer you to one if you aren't sure whether to go.You don't have to suffer with acne scars forever though as there are effective ways of getting rid of them.

For example laser acne scar treatment is a popular but expensive method of getting rid of scars and can be very effective on certain types. You should check whether you are a candidate for this kind of treatment.
