5 Top FAQ about Acne Scar




Following my interaction with people with acne disease, I have observed that many of them ask any of the 5 questions am about to give an answer to. I will try as much as I can to explicit in my explanation.

What is acne scar?
Acne scar is the visible remnants of acne after the acne itself have subsided. Acne often leaves small mark where the skin gets a “volcanic” shape. The scars tend to cause pockmark in the skin surface. There are two types of acne scarring. One results in a growth tissue while the other is responsible for loss of tissue.

What causes acne scar?
Acne scaring is caused by several factors. When the gland produces too much sebum, and bacteria get in contact with it, it may result to pimple, blackheads or whiteheads. Squeezing the pimple can cause scars on the skin.

Is there any treatment for acne scar?
The best way to treat acne scarring is to tackle it early and continue until there is achievement. There is however, a lot of treatment available when treating acne scarring. While we are used to the conventional means of treating acne, we are quick to forget its continual failure to solve the problem permanently. The result is usually evident just for few weeks and you are faced with the same problem over again.

How long will it take for my acne to disappear?
Timing depends on how dark the scars are. Very light scar starts fading away after a week or two. But darker marks take longer time. For some 6 months, others a year or even more.

Which product will you recommend for acne cure?
Really, it’s pretty difficult to get good product that work for everybody. The use of cosmetics in most cases has been found to have adverse side effects on the skin. Some treatment which may be suitable for one particular skin may not be for another.
I have always recommended natural treatment as a permanent solution for acne. Visit HERE to discover more tips and get the recommended e-book for acne treatment.

Acne scars are quite hard to remove but there are several ways to work around them. I used Vitamin E and rubbed it on the scars. I wonder if the celebs on Zug.com's acne contest had the same problem

Some hard and true facts about scars. Scars occur when the thick layer of our skin (the dermis layer) is damaged. However, scars need not be permanent. Research has confirmed that the MOST EFFECTIVE way to reduce scar is actually applying CONCENTRATED Vitamin E to the skin to increase collagen and nourish the skin.

Using other methods eg. Chemicals, surgery and others do not work. Those may seem faster BUT short term solutions with lots of side effects!!! Try and GET hold of some serum with very very high concentrated Vitamin E. Doesn't matter which brand as long as it contains natural Vitamin E. Most products will not have high Vitamin E because the ingredient is expensive.

If you need a suggestion, one product I tried recently that works is Natur E which you can find at www.scarremovaltreatment.net. Let me know if it does work for you.
