Why do acne scars appear?
In general, the visual consequences of rashes are a normal natural phenomenon. The structure of the acne and the development of processes in the skin during its formation.
In fact, this is an inflamed area, to which the body’s defenses react appropriately. He puts all his energy into preventing the spread of infection. Accordingly, bacteria are blocked to localize inflammation and prevent its spread.
The mechanism works as follows:
- First, vessels are spasmodic in the area.
- Then there is an expansion of the blood channels.
- There is a local increase in temperature (visually this is the “pimple ripening” stage.
- White blood cells are actively working on the site.
- When the infection is destroyed, the process of tissue regeneration, the emergence of new blood vessels, is launched.
In fact, red spots from acne are nothing more than areas where microcirculation of the blood is temporarily impair. The bloodstream was activated to eliminate the inflammatory process, then new vessels formed to nourish the tissues involved in the restoration of the site. Therefore, visually this is a red spot.
However, if insufficient collagen was produced during the healing process, atrophic traces appear. When there is too much connective tissue, keloid or hypertrophic scars occur.
Also, sometimes the place where the pimple was was markedly darker than the surrounding skin. This is due to the production of melanin. That is, in fact, we are talking about hyperpigmentation.
