Q: How to make sure your pimples do not scar?
A: Acne scars are the result of inflammation of acne blemishes. Some acne blemishes are small and the scars created are shallow and heal quickly. Sometimes the contents of blemishes spill into the surrounding tissue and cause deeper scars.
You can’t completely prevent scarring, but these steps can minimize your chance of developing acne scars.
1. Treat Acne as Soon as It Develops.
2. Reduce Inflammation.
3. Don’t Squeeze, Pop, or Pick at Pimples.
4. Don’t Pick at Scabs.
5. Know If You Are Prone to Scarring.
6. See Your Doctor for Deep Breakouts or Cysts.
Remember this:
The deeper and more inflamed the acne lesion, or the more that it is picked or squeezed, the more likely it is to scar. So treat your acne early, don’t just sit on it and let nature take its course.
