Blemishes like acne are commonplace among young individuals, as they experience hormonal changes. In many cases, acne, if left untreated, or poorly treated, can lead to permanent scarring on the face. Before one can identify acne scar treatments that can help, it is important to understand how acne forms. Acne or pimples form when the pores on facial skin, get clogged with dead cells or oil build-up. When these follicles are clogged, bacteria begins to thrive on them, creating red bumps on an individual’s face.
Acne can come in three different forms. Mild acne typically refers to blackheads or white heads that most individuals experience. This kind of acne will usually clear up on its own. Moderate acne is categorized as swollen red pimples that consist of pustules. Severe acne may be extremely painful, and usually consist of cysts full of pus.
