Treatment of post-acne scars The presence of acne or acne on the face can upset anyone. However, this is a temporary problem and often passes on its own. But the consequences of squeezing out acne in the form of scars or scars can remain forever.

The size of post-acne scars directly depends on the size of the pimple and the way it is eliminated. If the inflammatory process has passed on its own without bursting and damaging the structure of the skin tissue, only a pigmented spot will appear on the site of inflammation, which, as a rule, disappears without a trace for some time. But when squeezing and extracting pus, most likely, a small hem is formed at the spot of the pimple. Because, as soon as the wound appears, under the influence of bacteria inflammation begins. In response to this, blood flow to the wound begins, and under the influence of leukocytes, a chemical reaction to fight infection begins. The goal of this process is the early closure of the outbreak and protection from foreign agents provoking inflammation. But if the immune system is weak, and the body itself is not able to cope with the problem, a strong and prolonged inflammatory process begins, and here it is impossible to do without treatment.
