Our dermatologist will advise you to apply some topical creams or take medications to tone down the scars.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_picking_or_popping\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid picking or popping<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you get acne you get this sudden desire to just pop or pick it. We think that it will fade. However, you will worsen the condition if you do so. The popping will increase the risk of bacteria entering into the pimple. This can leave long-lasting scars that may be very difficult to treat. You must get treatment from board-certified specialists.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_sun_exposure\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid sun exposure<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protecting your skin from the sun can help further prevent scars. You must always wear sunscreen while going out. It will help protect the skin from the harsh rays. It can prevent the pigmentation and inflammation. The healing process may also begin to quicken.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_skin_clean_and_moisturized\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep skin clean and moisturized<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining clean skin can also boost recovery. Use mild products and keep the face clean and moisturized all the time.
