Once acne inflammation occurs, caused by bacteria infection in clogged pores, a person may present several different lesion types. Smaller red bumps are called papules. Larger red bumps are called nodules. Often times, a lesion will have a yellowish white color. The color is due to pus that has collected on the inside of the lesion; this lesion type is called a pustule.

Acne scars are left behind, many times permanently, after the lesion is healed. Acne scarring occurs when acne is irritated, often by direct touching of the affected area. In order to decrease the risk of acne scarring avoid the use of oily cosmetics on the affected area. The affected patch should be constantly cleansed, and should not be squeezed. Picking and squeezing the area before it is ready to be drained can often cause the lesion to be embedded deeper, thereby causing more severe scarring. And this is not all about scarring: doctors often warn patients not to manipulate facial acne for the rare probability that the infectious material can go into parts of the brain, implying severe problems such as seizure, stroke, and even death.

Acne's Severity Depends on Several Factors

Some of the most important factors such as the race of the individual, the age, and even complexion and eye color can influence the severity of an acne scar. Acne is more usual in boys, although both genders and all ages can be affected. As a rule of thumb, commonly the younger the sufferer, the more minimal the consequences of scarring. Also, the tendency towards acquiring acne is an inherited characteristic. The good news is that the condition tends to disappear after adolescence.

Natural products contain exclusive skin regenerating ingredients and organic antibiotic proven effective for the treatment of acne scarring. They not only work for the removal of raised keloid scars and to minimize pitted or ice pick scars, but also avoid scarring and act as a natural remedy for adult and teen acne. This natural skin renewal ingredient is collected from the secretions left on his paths by the Chilean snail Helix Aspersa Muller. The very same substance this snail uses to quickly reconstruct his own shell and skin when injured. After years of proven effects, scientific recognition and the creation of a patented procedure to make it into a topical cream, is now presented as a natural remedy.

The bioactive ingredients and the peptides in the cream trigger the formation of new elastic cells, collagen and pigment, filling in scar cavities. They will also shrink (digest) and replace the old fibrous collagen formed to repair injured tissues. The first evident effect is a softening of the skin. The ultimate healing is achieved when new 'invisible' hair, known as lanugo, comes thru the restored hair follicles.
