Acne / Surgical / Accidental Scars

Skin is a seamless organ where a small tear can result in bigger difference in it looks. Any burn, surgery or injury may result in scars.

There are several kinds of scars including:

• Acne Scars
• Surgical Scars
• Accidental Scars

Acne Scars

Acne scars are the result of skin pores causing a break in the follicle wall. These skin pores are engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. These scars eventually goes away, but are a bit tougher to deal with. Picking at and popping pimples can often worsen your skin resulting in scars.

Over the counter medication can’t help you to get over the scars. Getting on a prescription acne treatment will do it for you. Scars can’t be completely erased, but right treatment or combination of treatments suggested by your dermatologist can help you in reducing the Acne scars.

Surgical Scars

Surgical scars often occurs when your appendix removed as a child or a C-section to deliver your first born and other surgeries. Scar appearance is due to buildup of collagen fibres that are generated to protect the skin. This can fade naturally over time and largely depends on post-surgery care which makes a difference to their overall appearance.

Most scars from surgery are hard to avoid, but the scars from minor cuts can be made invisible by adapting various healing techniques. Most people prefer over the counter scar removal cream which can increase the production of collagen as well as enable new cells to replace the older cells.

Accidental Scars

Accidental scars are lesions that generally develop when an individual has fell down and got a scrape, bruise, cut, or gash. This can happen on anywhere of the body but usually seen at knees, elbows, hands, legs and face.
