I have scars from acne. how do i get rid of it??

Stop popping! It's tempting, but honestly, it make things worse. If you absolutely must pop, make sure that the area (and your fingers) are clean and disinfected. After you pop, gently clean the area with warm water and a washcloth, then cover the popped pimple with ice for a minute or two. This will reduce the swelling. With a cleaner pop, and a smaller area to infect, you greatly reduce your chances of getting a scab or scar.


Keep with your regular acne treatments. Continue your twice-a-day face washes and applications of astringent. If you don't have a very regulated method of treating and preventing acne, then it's time to start one.


Keep in mind that moisturizing isn't always best. In all honesty, you want these little scratches and scabs to stay dry. This, in a sense, causes the scab to wither away and fall off on its own, which reduces scratching and irritation鈥攖hus reducing scars.


Allow to heal naturally. Sometimes, the best method of dealing with acne scars and cuts is just to let your body do the works. Keep the irritated area clean and dry, and use as little make-up on the area as possible.











Avoid touching your face. Your hands can transfer additional oil and dirt to an infected area.


Scars tend to be more noticeable on pale skin. You can combat this with a safe self-tanner (not to be confused with tanning booths and/or sun-tanning, which are unhealthy for your skin). You could also buy a natural redness-countering concealer.


Neosporin is ideal for speeding up healing time thus causing lesser scarring. There is also Neosporin Scar Solution.











Picking at the scabs and scars will only make things worse.


If your acne ruptures even when you don't touch it, you need to see a dermatologist. Bleeding or excessive acne is not natural, and may be the result of an infection or allergies. Get treatment as soon as possible.


Acne is caused by a bacterial infections - more times than not. So understand that popping zits only spreads the infection.I have scars from acne. how do i get rid of it??

It's time to talk with a dermatologist about your options. There are lots of them out there - you just need to know the right one for you.
My ex-friend used proactive and she said it works.
Vitamin E oil capsules. Break one open with a pin and put a small amount on the scars every night.
Vitamin E oil and a product called Mederma in drug stores. no prescription needed. works great.
dermatologist
Dermabrasion only if you are not experiencing active breakouts! If you are breaking out still, get on an acne program. Clinique 3 step is wonderful! There are specific facial cleanser, clarifying lotions, and moisturizers that will correspond with your skin type! Wonderful products!
Go to the drugstore and buy a buff puff, it's a course pad that you use to scrub your face, it removes the outer layers of skin, allowing new skin to replace the old.

Proactive works really well!
get some proactiv. it really works
laser traetment
I've heard vitamin E or Palmer's Coco Butter but I'm not sure if they work or not. You might need to see a dermatologist if they're real bad. I know they can fix them with lazer treatments or micro-dermobrasion (sp) -but it could end up costing you a lot.


Check out these sites, maybe you'll find something you can do..





Good luck
wash your face so you dont get pimples.


don't pick at your face and at your pimples. that's how you get scars
you cant really get rid of scars. scars fade away them selves. but if you try to pop the pimple or zit itll leave a scar. so if you do pop them.STOP!!! the way to keep pimples and acne away is to use acne control.
egg whites. put it on your face and let it dry and peel it off. or papaya soap.
I used to have a really bad acne scar and it was at its worst the day before my senior prom:-X... My mom uses Palmer's Scar serum on her leg so I used some and it made my scar invisible but I couldn't use it every day because it is very oily and i still get acne.. But with time the scar just went away, thats just me ..
cocoa butter
Scar's are permanent. It's acually the second layer of your skin that has been damaged. Try cocoa butter it makes then less visible. Good Luck!
Use really hott water! Get a washtowel, and get the water as hott as you can.
