What Causes Acne Scars?
Acne forms when your skin pores become clogged with too much oil and dead skin cells. Usually, acne heals after a short time with minimal scarring, but sometimes it roots deep down in the skin and takes longer to heal. As it penetrates deeply, it damages more of your skin tissues, leading to acne scars.
Normally, your body heals itself, but when it fails to do so, it creates scar tissue, leaving behind deep scars.
When acne gets popped or opens up, the skin must close back up to cover the skin depression. Often, this process alters the colour, texture, and tone of the skin, resulting in what we call marks. Broken blood vessels from popped acne can also leave dark red or brown marks, which are essentially hyperpigmentation.
Let us tell you, that even if you avoid popping your acne, you may still notice dark marks on your skin.
