Hello,
I notice that I have scars developing on my cheek even though I had no acne on that area. For information, I have had bad insomnia, for the past 6 months, with sleep only for 3/7 days a week. Could that be a reason, and how do I solve this problemAlso recently I had a few pustules/whiteheads near my lips. How come I see there are red spots, and slight indentations developing there even though I didn't pick them? I thought scars could only develop from cystic acne. Also, I had pimples on my moustache, but I cant shave it for fear of rupturing those pimples. How can I solve this problem? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
Even if you dont pop the pimples it can still scar maybe by not much but still it will scar. Reason being when acne is there your immune system is constantly attacking the area hence causing the tissue to get destroyed so the longer the acne is there it will cause scar but popping is a no no as that could give you deeper scar.
the trick is to not let acne forming in the first place but taking accutane. If your parent have a history of scarring then you are most likely to scar so put the brakes early on acne is the key to stop acne scarring.
And lack of sleep also weakens immune system right? so thats why maybe got slight scar developing. May I know if I can use differin 0.1% or any chemical peels to prevent early scarring? What else can I do to cure the early scarring?
Also When i wash my face, and the pimple is washed down, as that considered as pimple popped? coz technically I didnt apply pressure on it.
Thank you!
