How to prevent a scar?

---

 

It is a very difficult battle but if your problem is mild or moderate (characterized by blackheads, papules, pustules) and you start immediately after the acne injury, you can prevent the severity of most scars.

After an acne lesion has healed, generally you will see a red or hyperpigmented mark on the skin. This is not a scar; simply the skin goes through its healing and remodeling process, which takes approximately 6-12 months.

Rememeber: only if the color change or skin defect is still present after 1 year you have a real scar.
