Another Reason Not To Pick!!!

For those looking to treat acne scars in Sacramento and Chico area visit 916 Acne, Skin & Wellness Studio.

Even the mildest form of acne can cause scarring if you pick. Remember, inflammation leads to Post Inflamatory Hyperpigmentation scarring (PIH). This means that even someone that has noninflamed acne can have PIH. How so? Picking at the non-inflamed lesion, whether it be a blackhead or a whitehead, causes irritation and inflamation, which can lead to PIH. The best way to avoid this type of scarring is...do not pick. If you do have inflammed lesions, apply ice for 60 seconds 2 to 3 times each day to reduce the chances of PIH.

Why You Shouldn't Pick!

916 is an acne clinic in Northern California. We treat grades 1 through 4, and have had huge success in getting our patients clear.

Picking can cause breaks in the follicle (pore) wall. If you have a pimple or a cyst, it is almost certain that you will cause a break in the follicle wall if you pick. This is BAD! Bacteria from inside the follicle get released into the otherwise sterile environment of the dermis (deeper skin layer). White blood cells begin breaking down collagen and elastin in order to get to the site of infection, and gobble up the bacteria. It is the breaking down of collagen and elastin (proteins that keep your skin looking young, tight, and smooth) that causes pit scarring. So, with that said, LEAVE IT ALONE! You are doing far more harm than good.
