DOES PICKING CAUSE ACNE SCARS...

The solution for acne scars in Chico, Ca... don't pick and see your acne specialist for scar treatment.

Picking can cause inverse ruptures where the the bacteria spills down into the, "should be sterile dermis" causing an immune response and disruption of the collagen and elastin matrix. The result is indentation scarring.

Even if there's no inverse rupture of the follicle, picking often leads to gouging out a chunk of skin in an attempt to annihilate the pimple or blackhead. This too, can lead to unnecessary acne scarring.

The vast majority of the time we make our skin worse by picking at it. Once you start, it's hard to walk away from the mirror - so just don't start!
