Acne Scars Are Quite Common
Posted on 30. Nov, 2009 by admin in Acne Types
Acne is a common skin irritation that is more prone to the teenagers, and to the adults, at times irrespective of their race, ethnicity and gender. The scientific name for this is ‘acne vulgaris’, which is often found in the visible portions of the body such as the face, neck, hands and so on.
This skin trouble has been a frustration all over the world over the years. The most severe happening that the acne causes is the ‘scar’. A scar can be rightly defined as a blemish in the skin, which results in red points and irritation.
There is yet another topic to be discussed, to get the detailed knowledge of scars. Yes, the ‘spots’ which caused by the acne, is truly harmless as it leaves no scars. Therefore, you need not worry, for a spot in your skin, but should put up with the embarrassment and the irritation. The technical terms for the spots are ‘macule’ or the ‘pseudo-scars’, which causes red points in the skin.
The annihilation of the swollen acne in the surface of the skin leaves behind a temporary mark, which can only last up to maximum of six months, with no left out traces, and this is, rightly a spot. A scar is not harmless like the spot; it has various types that are classified according to its intensity in the skin. The reasons that count are the damage of the tissue, itching of the upper skin, loss of tissue, unwanted tissue formation and so on.
Therefore, the upper dermis of the skin is damaged and significantly is discolored as well. So the scars can be considered as the ultimate ‘tissue injury’, which requires a ‘tissue repair’ as soon as possible.
The two major types of scars are the ‘keloids’ which can be other wise called as the hypertropic scars and the ice-prick scars. The above-mentioned rigorous condition of the skin is due to the blocked bacterial content and the excessive secretion of collagen in the human body. The over produced collagen, gets piled up, resulting in development of fibrous masses, which eventually leaves an irregular bulging in the skin called, the scars.
Whenever the skin faces a tissue injury, the entire human body gets alert and fires up its own, natural inbuilt soldiers’ i.e., the white blood cells, combined with the inflammatory molecules to fight this damage and repair it, to a possible extent. This WBC repair, is not perfect with complete cure, and it eventually leads to a cluttered site of fibrous tissue, leaving behind erosion in back end of the skin.
The scar’s concentration is variable; it solely depends on the effect of intensity that it causes in the individual’s skin. Luckily, for some, it may leave soon, for others it will remain long and create frustrating problems. The marks left by scars are permanent, but it can be definitely treated one or the other day. If it disappears by time, well and good, otherwise remodeling of the skin, along with medication should be done.
