One thing that is common between the times when you’re stressed, gobble up mangoes, binge eat, and get your period, is acne! When you have acne, you attempt to get rid of it using various types of treatments or all-natural cures. But what get left behind are acne scars! Unlike acne, acne scars remain on your skin for a longer time. Surely, concealers work as a blessing to hide those marks, but you can’t always rely on makeup, right? So, let us tell you a thing or two about how to get rid of acne scars.
Health Shots spoke to Dr Rinky Kapoor, Consultant Dermatologist, Cosmetic Dermatologist, and Dermato-Surgeon, The Esthetic Clinics, New Delhi, about how to get rid of acne scars and get clean skin. Before we do that, let us first understand the causes of it.
Causes of acne scars
Your largest organ is your skin. There are three major layers to your skin, starting with the outermost, the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The layers help produce vitamin D thanks to sunlight and shield your body from the weather, UV radiation, and bacteria. Acne can occur anywhere there are sebaceous glands, but it is most common on the face, back, and chest.
Dr Kapoor says, “When you have acne, it can reach the deep layers of the skin, damaging the tissue and causing a lump on the skin. This lump is full of germs, sebum, and dead skin cells. When the acne heals, ideally the body should produce extra collagen to repair the tissue damage, but sometimes if there is a lack of collagen or extra collagen, the tissue does not heal and scars are formed.” All in all, scarring may result from harm to the skin’s layers.
