"Contest Alert !!! || Acne Scars ".
Hello good friend Happy New Week to you and remain blessed
What do you know about acne scars? When do they occur?
Acne scars form when there is deep inflammation damage to the skin tissue leading to irregular healing. Acne scars usually happen when acne like nodular or cystic acne penetrates the skin very deeply, damaging collagen and triggering excessive or insufficient tissue repair. In addition to what I have said about acne scars, it often occurs due to picking, popping pimples, or severe, untreated breakouts.
Have you ever experienced acne scars? How did it affect confidence and self-esteem?
For having experienced acne scars, I haven't experienced acne scars personally before, but I have seen people who have experienced acne scars before which impacted their self-esteem and confidence. One of my close friends who once experienced acne scars felt self-conscious about her social situations she avoided certain lighting but used make umakeupver up. Also, during sunny hours she hardly goes out because of itching in her body.
What are some effective ways to reduce or treat acne scars?
Some of the effective ways to reduce or treat acne scars are as follows:
Topical Treatments: One can apply niacinamide, or retinoid to smooth skin.
Once can opt in for professional treatments by applying; chemical peels, subcision, microneedling and others to help lift deep scars.
Also, we can opt for home remedies, by applying honey, aloe vera, and rosehip oil to help limit scars.
Do you think acne scars should be embraced as part of self-acceptance, or should people focus on treatments? Why?
Firstly I would like to say that both perspectives are accepted and are valid. Self-acceptance is vital because scars don't define worth or beauty. However, if scars affect mental well-being, seeking treatment is perfectly okay. Now the thing is the choice we should be looking at should be personal whether someone should embrace their scars or treat them, confidence and comfort in one's skin should be the priority.
