ACNE & ACNE SCARS OR OILY SKIN

Acne also known as acne vulgaris occurs when hair follicles are clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. This is usually characterized by blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, pimples or oily skin. The most common areas of the skin to be affected includes the face, upper chest and back (also known as bacne). These areas of the skin tend to have a relatively high number of oil glands.


There are many reasons for the appearance of acne breakouts. Puberty is one of the more common reasons amongst teenagers as there’s an increase in hormones. But this skin condition, can affect in adults too. One should wash their makeup brushes regularly as they harbour dirt and bacteria that can cause breakouts. It’s also important to keep your smartphone bacteria-free. Germs from the phone land right on your cheek and jawline causing irritation and pimples. Last but not least, wash your face regularly. Always wash your face before bed to remove all the makeup, dirt and oil which can aggravate acne breakouts.

It’s important that you treat acne at its cause early, any delays will typically result in scarring. Acne scars are permanent depressions or elevation on the skin.


Atrophic acne scars appear as depressions in the skin. The 3 main categories of atrophic scars are:

  1. Ice pick scars: Deeper than they are wide, with a narrow opening.
  2. Boxcar scars: Broad, rectangular depressions with steep, defined edges.
  3. Rolling scars: Broad depressions that have rounded, sloping edges.

Acne scars can also be elevated. This includes raised hypertrophic scars and keloid acne scars. Acne scarring may also appear as very enlarged pores.
