What is Acne and Why Does it Cause Your Skin to Scar?

The internet is filled with myths about what causes pimples, but acne is a long-term skin disorder that is caused when hair follicles are blocked up with oils, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The clogged pores develop an infection in the follicle and manifest as a swollen, irritated lump in the skin.

While acne affects hundreds of millions of Americans on a daily basis, not everyone with the affliction develops humiliating facial scars. You see, not everyone’s skin reacts to acne the same way, due to a variety of factors. The human body produces an important protein called collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein that gives your skin its elasticity. Meaning it gives your skin its shape and firmness. Sometimes when your skin is healing from the infection in the hair follicles, the collagen is harmed during the process. This is more common in some sufferers than others, and the damage can lead to elevated and pockmarked scaring left by acne.
