Early Acne Scars - Prevention, Treatment, and Antioxidants
Acne is a skin condition that affects up to 80% of people in their teens and
twenties, and up to 5% of older adults. While many people recover from acne
without any permanent effects, some people are left with disfiguring acne scars.
There are some topical skin care products and medications that can improve mild
scarring, but most acne scars are treated with a combination of surgical
procedures and skin resurfacing.
Preventing Early Acne Scars
The best way to prevent post-inflammatory changes caused by acne is to prevent acne lesions from occurring. This is done by understanding the factors that cause acne and using the appropriate treatments for the different acne types. See the following articles for more information about acne causes and treatments
Early Acne Scars
After an acne lesion has
healed, it can leave a red or hyperpigmented mark on the skin. This is actually
not a scar, but rather a post-inflammatory change. The redness or
hyperpigmentation is seen as the skin goes through its healing and remodeling
process, which takes approximately 6-12 months. If no more acne lesions develop
in that area, the skin can heal normally. Any color change or skin defect still
present after 1 year is considered to be a permanent defect or scar.

Treating Early Acne Scars
The post-inflammatory changes caused by acne are part of the skin's natural healing process. There are certain practices and medications that can help facilitate this healing process.
As we understand more about skin damage from free-radicals, it seems that using an antioxidant would help treat post-inflammatory changes or even permanent scars. Unfortunately no good scientific studies have shown that any oral or topical antioxidant prevents or heals skin damage. As a matter of fact, Vitamin E, when applied topically to healing wounds, has been shown to cause more harm than good. As antioxidant research continues, scientists may find a formulation that effectively reverses skin damage, but until then any claims of skin rejuvenation through the use of antioxidants are merely hype.
The post-inflammatory changes caused by acne are part of the skin's natural healing process. There are certain practices and medications that can help facilitate this healing process.
- Unprotected exposure to the sun causes more skin damage and delays healing, therefore wearing a good sunscreen is important.
- Using tretinoin (Retin-A, Renova, Avita) speeds up the skin's remodeling process and helps heal post-inflammatory changes.
- Appropriate formulations of Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that contain the correct concentrations and are at the appropriate pH also help the skin's remodeling process.
- Picking at scabs should be avoided at all costs. Scabs form to protect the healing process that is going on underneath them. Pulling a scab off before it is ready interferes with the healing and remodeling process, prolonging the time that post-inflammatory changes will be visible.

Types of Acne
Types of Acne
It helps to understand the different kinds of acne so you can figure out what to do about different types of scarring: Acne lesions or pimples happen when the hair follicles (or "pores") on the skin become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. A plugged follicle is the perfect place for bacteria to grow and create the red bumps and pus-filled red bumps known as pimples.
Acne comes in different forms:
The best approach is to get treatment for acne soon after it appears to prevent further severe acne and more scarring. If you have nodules, see your doctor or dermatologist for treatment

Scars from acne can seem like double punishment — first you had to deal with the pimples, now you have marks as a reminder.It helps to understand the different kinds of acne so you can figure out what to do about different types of scarring: Acne lesions or pimples happen when the hair follicles (or "pores") on the skin become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. A plugged follicle is the perfect place for bacteria to grow and create the red bumps and pus-filled red bumps known as pimples.
Acne comes in different forms:
- mild acne, which refers to the whiteheads or blackheads that most of us get at various times
- moderately severe acne, which includes red inflamed pimples called papules and red pimples with white centers called pustules
- severe acne, which causes nodules — painful, pus-filled cysts or lumps — to appear under the skin
The best approach is to get treatment for acne soon after it appears to prevent further severe acne and more scarring. If you have nodules, see your doctor or dermatologist for treatment
Treating Acne Scars
Most of the time, those reddish or brownish acne marks that are left behind after a pimple eventually fade with no need for treatment. Picking or squeezing acne can increase the risk for scarring, though.Acne scars take two forms:
- scars with a gradual dip or depression (sometimes called "rolling" scars)
- scars that are deep and narrow
Mild vs. Severe Scarring
Treatments depend on how severe the scars are. In some cases, a doctor or
dermatologist may suggest a chemical peel or
microdermabrasion to help improve the appearance of scarred
areas. These milder treatments can be done right in the office.
If you have serious scarring from previous bouts with acne, there are several
things you can do:
- Laser resurfacing. This procedure can be done in the doctor's or dermatologist's office. The laser removes the damaged top layer of skin and tightens the middle layer, leaving skin smoother. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. The doctor will try to lessen any pain by first numbing the skin with local anesthesia. It usually takes between 3 and 10 days for the skin to heal completely.
- Dermabrasion. This treatment uses a rotating wire brush or spinning diamond instrument to wear down the surface of the skin. As the skin heals, a new, smoother layer replaces the abraded skin. It may take a bit longer for skin to heal using dermabrasion — usually between 10 days and 3 weeks.
- Fractional laser therapy. This type of treatment works at a deeper level than laser resurfacing or dermabrasion, Because fractional laser therapy doesn't wound the top layer of tissue, healing time is shorter. Someone who has had this type of treatment may just look a bit sunburned for a couple of days.
For "rolling" scars, doctors sometimes inject material under the scar to
raise it to the level of normal skin. Finally, in some cases, a doctor may
recommend surgery to remove deeply indented scars.
One thing you shouldn't do to deal with acne scars is load up your face with
masks or fancy lotions — these won't help and may irritate your skin further,
making the scars red and even more noticeable.
If you have a red or brownish mark on your face that you got from a bad zit,
it should eventually fade, just like the scars on your knees from falling off
your bike as a kid. However, it may take 12 months or longer. So your best bet
is to avoid these kinds of marks by not squeezing or popping zits
Topical Antibiotics For Acne Treatment
Topical Antibiotics For Acne Treatment
Acne is caused by the effects of hormones on the pilosebaceous
unit, consisting of a hair
follicle, sebaceous gland, and a hair. The follicle becomes obstructed and
an overgrowth of a normal skin bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes, causes
destruction of the lining of the follicle. This process allows follicular
material to enter the dermis,
causing an inflammatory response. For a more detailed description of this
process, see What Causes
Acne?
Acne Treatment With Topical Antibiotics
Topical antibiotics work by killing the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. This not only helps reduce the small infections in the pores, but also indirectly keeps the pores open. Topical antibiotics have been around for a while without many changes to the formulations, so I'm giving only a brief summary of each. All topical antibiotics must be prescribed by a health care provider.

The Most Practical Diet You Ever Try
The Most Practical Diet You Ever Try
Americans lose millions of pounds a year - only to gain most of it back within a year. You've probably heard over and over again that the real secret to losing weight permanently is to make permanent changes in your eating habits and lifestyle. Throughout decades of high protein, low protein, Air Force diets, Atkins, Scarsdale diets, cabbage diets,eat-all-you-want-and-still-lose-weight diets that is the one piece of advice that has remained strong. No matter what the latest diet craze, over and over throughout the years, the one "diet" that effected a long-term, permanent weight loss was the 'eat a well-balanced, portion-controlled diet and exercise regularly'.
Why are fad diets so popular? Diets feed our need to be actively doing something. Weighing, measuring, counting - whether its calories,exchanges or carbs - all give us the feeling of gaining control over our bodies and our weight. In the long run, though, all the measuring and obsession with what, how much and when we eat becomes overwhelming. When we stop living by strictly controlled guidelines set out by other people -the latest diet guru - the weight comes back.
There is a practical way to lose weight that doesn't involve arcane combinations of foods to set up an ideal balance of foods that burn more than they give, or that promise to 'turn your body into a fat-burning machine'. It is to simply eat a healthy balance of all types of foods in portions that are reasonable for your body, while at the same time raising your activity level to burn more calories than you take in. Below are some practical guidelines to help you adjust your diet and lifestyle to help you lose that weight - and keep it off permanently.
1.Adjust your attitude. You're not going on a diet - you're eating what your body needs. To maintain your weight loss, you'll need to maintain your new eating habits for the rest of your life - and that's a far easier prospect if your diet plan is one that makes sense and is easy to maintain.
2.Think square when you plan your meals. Like a square has four corners, so should your meals. At every meal, include a protein, a healthy fat, a grain/legume and a fruit/vegetable.
3.Eat three squares and at least two snacks every day. Your snacks should be in the grain/legume or fruit/vegetable corner.
4.If you're under stress, eat something every two hours. Your body sends out distress signals when you're putting it under stress. Give it healthy fuel to keep it working right.
5.Aim for no more than 60 grams of carbohydrate per day at first.Spread the carbohydrates over the course of the day - 15 at each meal and 7 at each snack.
6.Limit dairy products to 3 or less daily.
7.Completely avoid soft drinks - even the diet ones.
8.Drink 6-10 glasses of water each day.
9.Eliminate 'white foods' from your diet. Do away with white sugar,white flour and white cereal products.
10. Take a nutritional supplement - at least a good multivitamin daily.

Benzoyl Peroxide is one of the common ingredients used to treat acne. You can find this active ingredient in the form of a cream, gel, lotion, facemask, or cleansing bar. Benzoyl Peroxide is very effective in treating mild cases of acne. This acne treatment drug is available in non-prescription form for concentrations of 2.5%, 5% and 10%. If you are looking for concentrations higher than 10%, you need a doctor's prescription. Several studies have shown that 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is equally effective to combat pimples and is less irritating. Therefore, if you want to try Benzoyl Peroxide to treat your acne, you should begin with a low concentration (example 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide).
How Benzoyl Peroxide works
Before we go into details on how benzoyl peroxide can prevent acne, it is useful to understand how acne is formed. Propionibacterium acnes (P.acnes) is a bacteria that causes the skin disorder acne. P.acnes is a major inhabitant of human skin and is the causative agent of acne. This skin-dwelling organism will multiply rapidly within clogged sebaceous follicles if left untreated. Fortunately, these bacteria cannot live in the presence of oxygen. Benzoyl Peroxide is an oxygen-releasing chemical in the organic peroxide family. Upon applying on the affected area, this chemical is absorbed into the pores and releases the oxygen to destroy P.acnes.
Side Effects of Benzoyl Peroxide
It is important to note that there are some side effects when using this anti-acne medication:
a. Dryness
If you are using 5% or 10% of benzoyl peroxide, you may want to try a lower concentration, say 2.5% of benzoyl peroxide.
b. Irritation
For irritation, you can reduce the usage frequency. If you encounter severe irritation even the usage frequency is low, you should discontinue using the product.
c. Allergy
If you are allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide, you should discontinue using it and consult your dermatologist for other acne treatments.
d. Bleach
Benzoyl Peroxide is a powerful bleaching agent. You should prevent your hair from contacting this bleaching agent as this medicine can cause permanent color dampening.
Before using Benzoyl Peroxide for your acne treatment, please take note that this medicine generates free radicals in the skin. The result is redness of the skin due to oxidative stress. The effect is similar to unprotected sun exposure. If you are using a benzoyl peroxide product to treat your acne, you should avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use a sunscreen during the day.
