What do you know about acne scars? When they occurs?

Acne is one of the very annoying problem that strikes many young people. There are some who are spared from this problem and they are very lucky because during this hard time when the school mates suffer from psychological problem of puberty the other look great and have such nice smooth skin and feel confident.

Acne has few stages, starts with just red spot that with time spreads into the depth in deeper layers and only then it starts to form little pus filled spots. Of course, it is difficult to bear them and many young people just squeeze them so that they are empty, of course, while squeezing we destroy the skin structure and make the inflammation to be spread in the depth and later on form scars.

If the pustule settle without spreading deeper then later on they heal just with little pigmented area that with time disappear but if there was after squeezing a scar that will leave a little dip in the skin and irregularity that will stay forever and cause such appearance of skin.

Have you ever experienced acne scars? How did it affect confidence and self-esteem?

Yes, I am also the one who is suffering from acne. Understandable it is affecting self-esteem and confidence. Because even when speaking to my friends I have a feeling that everyone is staring into my face and even if the spots not very prominent that people still can see them.

Of course, I wish I never have them b ut it is life nad it does not depend on us what we want and what not.

What are some effective ways to reduce or treat acne scars?

The most effective way to prevent scars is not to squeeze them and if to do them only with clean fingers, maybe even using a clean needle and just a little prickle just to reduce pressure.

When you have scars already, then I would just advice to visit cosmetic professional and take their advice.

Do you think acne scars should be embraced as part of self-acceptance, or should people focus on treatments? Why?

I do not think that we should accept scaring and acne in general. Nowadays with such development of cosmetic branch and also with such variety of different skin care ways, we have to try them ourselves. By the way, often in order to improve your skin condition it is advisable to revisit your diet:

avoid too much sweets
avoid crisps and greasy snacks
plenty to drink

If you notice that your skin is still not getting better then please do not waste time and do not let skin to suffer but seek a help of Dermatologist or skin specialist early.
