Most of the acne scars are depressed types. When acne develops, it spreads to the skin cells deeper in the skin. These skin cells are mainly collagen in the skin, which is destroyed by the acne inflammation. Once the acne heals, skin forms over the depression and the scar becomes permanent. One can see a depression in the skin.
Depressed scars may be of different types. This classification is done on the basis of how they look. The common types of acne scars are- Icepick scars, Boxcar scars and Rolling scars.
Icepick scars are deep scars. They may also be superficial. They look sharp as if the skin has been cut with an icepick.
Boxcar scars are oval or round and they are not very deep.
When the scarred skin looks rolled, the scars are known as rolling scars.
Acne Scars- how they can improve in look?
These are permanent changes in the skin and have now healed. I have read about many home remedies that are suggested to treat scars. How will a home remedy remove the depression in the skin? The only way is to produce more collagen inside the skin. If any product can help produce collagen on the scar site, that collagen can fill the depression. If you are suggested any home remedy, find out if that will help create more collagen. Otherwise you will be wasting lot of time, effort and money in treatment of scars.
Keloids -keloids are raised scars, a mass of tissues that grows on the site of the injury.
I do not think that keloids can be treated with any home remedy.
Vitamin C is a collagen booster. Topical retinoids are collagen boosters. Use them topically and slowly you should see improvement in the acne scars.
Acne Scars are the marks or pimples caused when the hair pores on the skin become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Any color change or skin defect still present after 1 year is considered to be a permanent scar. It is one of most common skin conditions in the world. It is now afflicting 40 to 50 million Americans.
Acne includes whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, cysts and nodules. They may occur anywhere on the body. However, acne most often appears in areas where there is a high concentration of sebaceous glands, like on the face, neck, chest, shoulders and upper back.
Acne scars result from two types of tissue response to the inflammation of acne :-
(1) Increased tissue formation, and (2) Loss of tissue.
Causes of Actual cause of acne is unknown. Doctors believe it results from several related factors. It has no proper cause that doctors believe that it has there own cause. One important factor is an increase in hormones called androgens which are male sex hormones, primarily testosterone, certainly play a large role. It is mainly occur in teenager. Some researcher also believe that there are three man factors contribute to the formation of acne : ? Overproduction of oil (sebum) ? Irregular shedding of dead skin cells resulting in irritation of the hair follicles of your skin ? Buildup of bacteria
A number of other factors, most importantly heredity, are also important. If one of your parents had acne, there's a good chance you will, too.
