What is the reason why acne scars don’t go away?

Acne scars are a skin problem that many of us have encountered. They are usually the acne scars left after acne is removed. There are many types of acne scars, and different types will present different skin symptoms. Acne scars will generally disappear slowly with the skin's metabolism, but some acne scars will not disappear. This is because the skin has not been treated or is caused by long-term ultraviolet radiation. You should pay more attention to maintenance in your daily life.

What is the reason why acne scars don’t go away?

First, the formation of acne scars.

When acne appears during adolescence, I believe many people can't help but squeeze it with their hands or pick it with an acne needle. Then, if the pimples are irritated and not disinfected well, they will easily become inflamed, and in the end they will leave very ugly acne marks, and some serious cases will even leave acne scars.

There are two main types of acne scars: black acne scars and red acne scars. According to observation, after the acne is eliminated, the acne marks will be red at first, then slowly turn into black acne marks, and then slowly fade away. However, acne scars exist from the beginning and cannot be eliminated by some ordinary methods.

Second, the reason why acne marks turn darker.

When acne becomes inflamed, red acne marks will easily form. If not treated properly, it will turn into black acne marks. During this process, due to the exposure to ultraviolet rays, the influence of endocrine changes, and external stimuli, melanin will accumulate near the acne scars. In addition, this melanin cannot be metabolized in time and is deposited in the skin. Therefore, from the outside, the acne marks will gradually change from red at the beginning to black.

Third, how to remove black acne marks.

1. Pay attention to sun protection.

A key point in the transformation of red acne marks into black acne marks is that external ultraviolet rays lead to the production of melanin. If you don’t want acne scars to turn darker, a better way is to prevent ultraviolet rays from being exposed to them. This way, melanin cannot be produced and acne scars will not turn darker. During the period of acne, you need to apply sunscreen when going out and use some physical methods to protect yourself from the sun, such as wearing a hat, holding an umbrella, etc. It is recommended to stay in a cool place as much as possible when outdoors for a long time.

2. Take good whitening measures.

I just found that my acne scars have started to turn darker, which means that melanin has been produced inside. This requires the use of some whitening essences or whitening masks to whiten and eliminate melanin. It should be noted that some whitening products should only be used at night and should not be exposed to light.

You can also eat more fruits and vegetables with whitening function, such as tomatoes, lemons, oranges, etc., which can provide the body with sufficient vitamin C, effectively eliminate melanin, and help remove black acne marks.

3. Do not squeeze pimples with your hands.

Once acne scars are formed, it will take a long time to eliminate them. So if you don’t want to leave ugly acne scars or acne pits on your face, you need to control your hands at the beginning and never squeeze acne with your hands. This will make acne more inflamed and more likely to leave acne marks. Therefore, if you find acne on your face, it is recommended that you go to a professional institution for treatment and use professional means to disinfect and remove the acne.
