Acne is a common skin condition that affects the majority of people within the UK at some point in their life – it is estimated that up to 80% of people aged 11-30 can be affected. The condition causes spots, oily skin, and heated skin that can be painful to touch. Acne is most commonly linked to the changes in hormone levels during puberty, but can also flare up at a later age.
Whilst acne can be unsightly, it will eventually disappear – however sufferers of the condition may experience scarring on the face, back or chest – which is much tougher to deal with.
Acne Scars
Acne scars are mainly caused by damage to spots or anything else that causes excess irritation to the affected areas. Creating severe blemishes, those that are inflamed, are more likely to scar. But sometimes, even if you’re really careful with your skin, scarring can still develop, causing an unwanted reminder of a smooth clear youthful skin condition.
Scarring can be unsightly and can cause self-confidence issues in individuals. Some scarring will eventually disappear, but pitted, depressed and raised scarring requires more than facial cream to treat. Some people make peace with their scarring, whilst others choose to take more serious action. Both options are okay, and seeking treatment shouldn’t be an embarrassment.
