How To Rid Acne Scars

Acne is a condition which a large number of people suffer from and many are left with scarring as a result of bad acne.  Scarring usually is caused when pimples become inflamed and destroys skin tissue.

When damage is done to the dermis, the skin will form new collagen fibers to repair the damage.  Collagen gives the skins its flexibility and strength.  Unfortunately, although the skin does repair itself the repaired area is never as smooth and flawless as before the damage occured.

It is the inflammation that is the biggest cause of acne scarring and the more the pimple s inflamed the more likely scarring will occur.  If breakouts are deep they may take a long time to heal also increasing the risk of scarring.

The biggest cure for scarring is the prevention of it and although not all acne can be prevented there are measures you can take to help reduce the occurance and severity of acne.  A healthy diet, reduced stress and a good skin care routine can all help to reduce acne.
