Q.What causes acne scars?
They occur when normal skin tissue is damaged due to secondary infections caused by improper squeezing or when inflammatory acne treatment is delayed, leading to irreparable indented scars where acne occurred.
Q. What causes hypertrophic scars/keloids?
While the exact cause of hypertrophic scars and keloids isn't fully understood, it's thought that when wound sites are pulled, the skin produces excess fibrous cells, playing a crucial role in scar formation.
Q. Why do scars remain after surgery?
Scars are traces of healed damaged skin. When the deep dermal layer is damaged due to surgery or trauma, the collagen in the dermal layer that maintains skin tension proliferates excessively, pushing through the thinned skin even after wound healing, resulting in scars.
Q. Why do pores enlarge?
When the elasticity of collagen that makes up not only the epidermis but also the deep dermis decreases, the force that constricts the sebum discharge pathway weakens, causing pores to enlarge. Additionally, the reduced elasticity makes pores appear relatively larger.
