How Acne scars form?
Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by an outbreak of skin lesions, commonly referred to as pimples. Acne usually appears on the neck, back, face, shoulders, and chest. It is the most common skin problem of teenagers.
Acne happens when oil glands of the skin create too much sebum, an oily substance that leads to clogged pores. Ishaa Skin & Hair Clinic our Expert dermatologist will be able to provide a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and concerns.
Skin pores get clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. When pressure increases inside acne due to overfilling of pus, a breakthrough happens in the wall. Pus enters the surrounding skin tissue and causes deeper lesions. The skin tries to repair this lesion by forming a scar.
