Sun for Acne Scars

Sun for Acne Scars. Is a good idea?




Sun exposure has a drying effect on the skin and damages the sebaceous glands, making them temporarily less active. For this reason, people with overactive sebaceous glands may see their acne initially improve after sun exposure.
However, excessive sun exposure can ruin the skin, it increases the plugging of your pores and causes hyperpigmentation. It can cause irritations and always stimulates melanin, a chemical pigment that is dark in color, produced under ultraviolet exposure.
Only 50 percent of acne patients improve with sun exposure and tanning. The remaining 50 percent experience no change or a worsening of the condition.

The formation of acne scars can be prevented if you will avoid exposing your skin to the sun’s rays. The American Academy of Dermatology advises that you should treat a scar as soon as possible and always wear a high level sun block because the sun can make the scar darker.

Excessive exposure may also worsen the appearance of fresh scars and result in excess collagen deposition. It will increase the duration of the red phase of scar maturation, as well as causing excessive pigmentation to the ultimate scar. Wearing sunscreen is the best thing you can do to help your scars heal correctly.
Patients with postinflammatory hyperpigmentation should be counseled about the regular use of sunscreen over affected areas. Sun exposure, with its component UV-radiation, is a well-known hyperpigmenting agent.
