Scars form when inflammation goes deep enough to damage the dermis. Prevention is far cheaper than scar treatment.
Rule 1: Don't pick
Every pick pushes bacteria deeper and delays healing. If it's tempting, cover with a hydrocolloid patch.
Rule 2: Treat inflammation early
The faster a lesion resolves, the less likely it scars. Salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or a prescription retinoid — start at first sign.
Rule 3: Never skip SPF
UV darkens post-acne marks and slows healing. Non-negotiable, even indoors.
Rule 4: Get help early for cystic acne
Cystic acne almost always scars without medical treatment. Don't wait 6 months trying home remedies.
