What are Acne Scars?
Causes of Acne Scars
Certain factors can raise your risk for scarring:
- Inflammatory acne with cysts or nodules is marked by swelling, redness, and pain. It can penetrate deep into the skin. Get treatment as soon as possible.
- Waiting to treat acne until it becomes severe can lead to scarring, so don't delay.
- Avoid picking, popping, or squeezing acne. This causes inflammation.
- Genes appear to play a role, with acne scarring running in families.
Still, it's difficult to predict who will scar and who won’t. Sometimes you can't avoid it, even by taking precautions. And just because you have several risk factors doesn't mean it will always happen.
