What is the difference between acne and acne scars?
I currently have large zits on my face that just won’t go away! I’ve had them for about a month and a half now and I have never gotten so much acne and acne that has lasted for so long in my entire life! So I was beginning to wonder if they are scars. If anyone could please help me out, I’d really appreciate it.
Acne are the pustules,papules,whiteheads,and/or blackheads that are on your face or back.Some of them contain pus while others don’t.Acne scars are the indentation or actual scars that the acne leaves behind when the pus is out.The acne causes damage to the surface of the skin which results in scars.
Scarring is body’s way of dealing with open tissue – hyperpigmentation. Acne – left untreated will open up and ooze – scars. Try Niapads (Nicotinamide pads for Acne)- not only does it stop acne in its track – it also reduces skin hyperpigmentation. Nicotinamide – stronger than antibiotics such as Clindamycin, yet safer with no side-effects. Check out references under http://www.niapads.com
A natural remedy for acne is Tea Tree essential oil. You can usually find it at a health food store (or online.) Put a drop of the tea tree oil on a q-tip and dab it on the pimple. Tea tree kills the bacteria that contribute to your acne.
You can also make an all-over face wash with tea tree essential oil. Here`s a recipe for making your own facial cleanser for acne. http://www.easy-aromatherapy-recipes.com/aromatherapy-facial-cleanser-recipe-acne.html
