General & Family Physician 's  Response
Acne is a disease of the hair follicles and it sometimes leaves a permanent scar on your face. When it comes to scarring, preventing any future scarring is the best first course of action. Do not squeeze pimple as it will scar because scars are really more from squeezing than from the acne itself. Once acne is under control, surgical scar revision is an option. However, scarring is a permanent condition, so scar treatments may improve the condition, but rarely remove it. Another “treatment” for acne scarring is simply accepting oneself. None of us are perfect, and many people suffer with acne scarring and live normal and happy life. Many surgical, chemical and laser procedures are available for surgical scar revision like dermabrasion, laser carbon dioxide treatment, chemical peeling etc. Only a select few plastic surgeons and dermatologists are specialized in acne scar revision surgery. So go to a good center which is specialized in such procedure.
Thanks!
