Acne

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.  It causes whiteheads, blackheads, or pimples. Attempting to remove severe or troublesome acne on your own without the help of a professional can result in acne scarring.

Acne Scarring

Acne scars form after deep, inflammatory infections in the pores that don’t heal well. 

There are also multiple types of acne scars that stem from the same, deep lesions, but appear as different shapes and textures on people’s skin. The kind of acne scars you may have can be different from the next person, even if your type of acne is similar.

Both the ability for your skin to be scarred by acne and the type of scarring that will appear are determined in a large part by your genetics. To some degree, this condition can also depend on how you care for your skin during acne breakouts in the first place.
