Acne Scars – Getting Rid of Bad Memories! Written by Peter Crump
Acne scars can often be final reminder of a bad time in life of a person’s skin. Though acne is one of most common skin disorders, most former patients feel no need to display their scars like war wounds from a hard won battle, and once sufferers have achieved clear skin they have longed for so long, they move swiftly into a new fight – how to remove, or at least lessen, their acne scars. Just as there are different types of acne, there are also different types of acne scar. While painful cyst type acne usually leaves scarring of some kind, some former patients find themselves with minimal damage after suffering with this type of condition, while others who have had more superficial blemishes find that they scar badly. Scars are caused by both build-up of excess tissue and by loss of tissue due to acne, and type of treatment that is appropriate will vary from patient to patient. But medical advances have led to a number of new developments, which means that there is even an effective treatment for deep acne scars available.

Acne is number one skin problem in world and affects huge numbers of people worldwide. And baby acne, although not common, can be a cause of some angst amongst parents.What is baby acne? Acne is not totally understood, including baby acne. The cause of acne is not agreed on amongst scientists. However general consensus is that acne, including baby acne, is a condition caused by changes in body’s hormones. And when are body’s hormones changing? Well certainly in teenage years. But also at some other times in life. Like birth. When a baby has been separated from it’s mothers body by birth and it is living on it’s own for very first time. And when it is also getting some supplies of hormones from it’s mothers milk at same time. Baby acne can occur in very young babies of 2 or 3 weeks, more commonly boys, up until around 6 months or so. It appears on various parts of baby’s body such as forehead, cheeks and chin, or more rarely bottom or back, and appears as small white spots on skin. Or it could look like a red rash with raised bumps.
