Acne is a perennial problem particularly for women, with its sudden appearance and the permanent scars that it causes. Irrespective of your dislike for it, acne occurs throughout the teenage years of almost everyone and a lot of effort is needed for removing these ugly looking marks and stopping them from reappearing.

When the sebum secreted by skin glands reacts with bacteria, it causes an infection, which is referred to as acne. As the condition heals, collagen, which is a protein, is created in the inner surface of the skin. On the amount of collagen falling low, tiny depressions develop on the skin and on its level being excessive, distinct protrusions appear. Acne scars appear in both these situations. Adolescents are typically more prone to acne infection as their hormones rise all of a sudden at the time of puberty leading to greater sebum release.

Some of the usual reasons that lead to an acne infection include intake of medicines, frequent use of oral contraceptives, using beauty products that do not go with the skin type and genetic reasons. Certain lifestyle factors like stress, unhealthy diet, and living in a polluted area can also result in acne. However, contrary to common perception, there is no scientific link between oily or fast food and acne.

Despite availability of a number of herbal cosmetics and lotions for the treatment of acne available in the shops, it is advisable to visit a doctor if the infection increases or appears again and again. In order to make sure that acne does not worsen, it is advisable to abstain from pinching the lesion or poking it with sharp things.

A number of sufferers now resort to various cosmetic treatments to make the scars disappear and get a glowing skin. Laser treatment and surgery are also being used increasingly for getting rid of acne scars, in addition to many innovative treatments that have been discovered by medical science. You must take advice from a reputed skin specialist who would be able to assess your skin type and suggest an effective remedy accordingly.
