Question 1

what are the main causes of acne scars?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Low grade infection with inflammation and injury with damage with subsequent healing/necrosis/fibrosis involving surrounding dermal and subcutaneous structures will produce the resulting scars that are characteristic of acne (ice pick, shallow depressions, epithelial bridges, etc).

Question 2

what causes rid of acne and acne scars naturally?

Accepted Answer

Forgive my frankness: This is the 21st century and you owe it to yourself to use remedies that actually work. Your physician can manage acne using compounds that are gifts from mother nature -- benzoyl peroxide, the retinoic acid derivatives, isotretinoin, and the wonderful antibiotics made by natural micro-organisms. Acne scars can be partially hidden using techniques available to dermatologists.

Question 3

can sunscreen cause my acne scars to fade?

Accepted Answer

Sunscreen: When you wear sunscreen you are protecting yourself from the damaging effects of the sun. Typically any scar on your skin will appear darker or more intense when exposed to the sun. Unless your sunscreen has an active ingredient that helps reduce the appearance of scars, simply protecting your skin from the sun is helping scars fade.

Question 4

how come my acne scar from over a year is red and feels bumpy what can cause this?

Accepted Answer

Infection: You should see a Dermatologist for best answer. You probably have a low grade infection, which may require systemic antibiotics

Question 5

what do you recommend i use to remove my acne scars and rejuvenate my skin? does the product cause acne break outs?

Accepted Answer

Acne scars: One important factor is prevent new scars-get your acne under control. Find a dermatologist to tackle that with you. Most treatment to improve the appearance of acne scars use special technology to remodel the skin. The device I use to treat acne scars is called ematrix--see for info: http://www.Smacboca.Com/e-matrix-sublative-rejuvenation.Html
other options include fractional lasers or subscision.

See a dermatologist: I would strongly suggest seeing a dermatologist. This is obviously a very troubling issue for you. A dermatologist can use meds and techniques like dear abrasion to minimize and fade the scars.

Question 10
