What is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It can cause pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes painful cysts.

Causes of Acne
  • Excess oil (sebum) production
  • Clogged pores due to dead skin cells
  • Bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes)
  • Hormonal changes (common during puberty, pregnancy, or due to conditions like PCOS)
  • Diet (dairy and high-glycemic foods may contribute)
  • Stress and lifestyle factors
Types of Acne Scars
  1. Atrophic (Depressed) Scars

    • Ice pick scars: Deep, narrow scars
    • Boxcar scars: Broad, deep scars with sharp edges
    • Rolling scars: Shallow scars with wavy edges
  2. Hypertrophic (Raised) Scars

    • Common on the chest, back, and shoulders
  3. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

    • Dark spots left after acne heals (not actual scars but can take time to fade)
Prevention of Acne and Scarring
  • Maintain a proper skincare routine (gentle cleanser, non-comedogenic moisturizer, and sunscreen)
  • Avoid picking or popping pimples to prevent scars
  • Use acne treatments (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids)
  • Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet
  • Manage stress through exercise, meditation, or relaxation techniques
Treatment for Acne and Scars
  • Topical treatments (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, Vitamin C)
  • Oral medications (antibiotics, birth control pills, isotretinoin for severe acne)
  • Chemical peels to exfoliate and promote skin renewal
  • Microneedling to stimulate collagen production
  • Laser therapy to reduce scars and pigmentation
  • Dermal fillers for deep scars
  • Surgical procedures like subcision for severe scarring
