If you breakout what treatments will yield the best chance to prevent scarring after the breakouts heal? I recently broke out on my chin, I have 5 active blemishes, and They have been active for 3 days now and I'm worried they might scar after they heal They might not look big on pictures but they are fairly sized and everytime I touch them I get the same feeling as if I was putting pressure on a bruise.
The redness was because I been spot treating them with tea tree oil.

Its only 4 blemishes and I never get acne there it was just some random breakouts I got 3 days ago and 2 of them already dried out I doubt its folliculitis also some of the redness is from the tea tree oil.

Does a pimple have to be active a certain amout of time to cause scarring?
I dont pick at them I just apply tea tree oil and apply alcohol on them only reason I felt they might scar was because everytime I touch them it feels like Im pressing on a bruise could that be because the breakout is right above my jaw bone?

i believe the longer the pimple is there, the longer the dark spot will last afterwards. It would make sense that a longer lasting inflammation would be more likely to lead to scarring though
