Everyone has suffered from the angry red pimple at one time or another, but some us may have different healing times after the welt has run its course and died down. Some common effects to the skin after a bout with acne can be dark spots, pits, and uneven rolling of the surface. In terms of an acne scar cure, there are many different options, depending on the severity of your skin trauma. Below are some suggestions on how to go back to the smooth, unmarred skin you originally had.
1. Wear sun protection.
Hyper pigmentation scars can and will darken if they are not protected from the sun. By wearing sunscreen on a daily basis you are preventing the dark spots from getting any darker. By logic, the darker the spot, the longer it will take to fade away.
2. Don’t pick at scabs.
One of the worst things you can do to worsen the likelihood of full scar healing is to touch and pick at it. Leaving it alone completely is a preventative measure that makes a huge difference. If you pick at a scab before it has sloughed off on its own, then you will be interrupting the skin’s natural healing process, prolonging it, and making the injury itself and subsequent scarring worse.
