How to treat acne scars

Acne is most often caused by excessive oil secretion or improper cleaning of the human skin, so people with oily skin are very prone to acne. After finding out what's wrong, everyone must cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication to control the acne from getting worse, and don't scratch it with your hands. If acne leaves scars on your face, what treatment methods should be used?

What to do about acne scars

1. After cleaning your skin every night, use a cotton swab dipped in sugar water to gently wipe off acne marks.

2. It is best to use Chinese medicine face wash powder, which can not only remove acne but also remove acne marks, and at the same time can soften the cuticle to remove it.

3. Yellowing of the skin is due to insufficient blood supply and oxygen carrying capacity of the skin capillaries, small spots are caused by the deposition of melanin in the skin, and acne scars are caused by clogged hair follicles, which results in the local blood congestion left behind when acne occurs not being completely discharged and continuing to accumulate.

5. Use pearl powder and egg white to make a mask, which can whiten the skin, shrink pores and remove acne marks. If you feel dry, add some honey.

6. Use rice washing water, which is a folk remedy. It not only removes marks but also has the effect of whitening. Combined with taking vitamin E internally, the effect will be obvious within a month.

7. It is best not to squeeze it. If you squeeze it, it will turn red because of inflammation, which means that the area is filled with body fluids. At this time, it is best to use salt water to reduce inflammation, and finally apply some toothpaste, but not too much, as it will cause allergies.

8. Use white vinegar. Add a little white vinegar to warm water when washing your face in the morning and evening. It can lighten spots, but it needs to be used for a long time.

9. Add one egg white and 50 grams of honey, mix well. Twice a week, 30 minutes each time. Best done before bed.

10. First prepare half a teaspoon of natural salt, egg white and a spoonful of honey. Method: Whisk egg whites and salt until foamy, then pour in honey and stir. Facial application: Apply after cleansing the face, but avoid touching the area around eyes and lips. Apply for one to two minutes, wash your face with warm water after the egg whites are absorbed, then wash it once more with cold water, and then wipe dry.

11. Honey Double Kernel Mask Winter melon kernels contain fatty oleic acid, citrulline and other ingredients, which have the effect of lightening marks. Peach kernels are rich in vitamin E and vitamin B6, which not only help the skin resist oxidation but also reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays. The moisturizing effect of honey makes the mask more effective. Preparation method: Dry the wax gourd seeds and peach kernels and grind them into fine powder. Add appropriate amount of honey and mix into a thick paste. Apply on the prints every night before going to bed and wash off the next morning. After three weeks of application, the marks will gradually fade. Pay attention to sun protection during treatment.

12. Red wine and honey mask. The grape acid in red wine is fruit acid, which can promote the metabolism of keratin, lighten pigments, and make the skin whiter and smoother. Honey has moisturizing and nourishing properties. People who are easily allergic to alcohol should be careful. Method: Add 2 to 3 spoons of honey to a small cup of red wine and mix it into a thick state. Apply it evenly on the face. After it is 80% dry, rinse it off with warm water.

13. For a whitening and moisturizing facial mask, soak facial mask paper in leftover milk and apply it on your face. It can lighten acne marks and can also be used for post-sun repair. Just apply it for 15 minutes, but it is best to use skimmed milk to avoid growing fat particles. Any brand is acceptable.

14. Check whether the acne is mature. If it is mature, first remove the acne contents, apply anti-inflammatory cream, then wash it with oil-control facial cleanser, and apply vitamin E externally for whitening.

Why does acne leave scars?

1. Poor secretion of sebaceous glands

If infection is the main factor in the formation of acne scars, then poor secretion of sebaceous glands is the physiological basis for the formation of infection.

2. Squeezing the sebaceous glands may lead to secondary infection

When papules appear, patients often subconsciously squeeze them with their hands. Due to incorrect squeezing methods, local skin is often damaged, the skin's barrier protection function is reduced, and the contents of the sebaceous glands are not completely squeezed out, allowing bacteria to enter. Secondary sebaceous gland inflammation may occur. Because many patients ignore the importance of treatment. The inflammation continues to worsen until it forms suppurative sebaceous adenitis or chronic inflammation. In the lumen of the sebaceous glands, tissue repair and destruction coexist, resulting in the formation of keloids, scar hyperplasia, atrophic scars, and uneven scars. This is an important part of acne scarring.

3. Improper treatment

When the sebaceous glands enter the inflammatory stage, many patients often do not pay enough attention to it. Some people stop and start treatment. Discontinuous treatment causes repeated local inflammation, serious damage to the lumen, and even epidermalization of the skin, resulting in closure of the lumen. After healing, the epidermis becomes sunken and adheres to the dermis, forming a mung bean-sized sunken scar.
