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!

Getting rid of acne scars in Chico, Ca. can take about 3 to 6 months depending on the type of acne scarring.
While the treatment of indentation scars can take years, dark marks can take only months.
Post-inflammatory-hyperpigmentation (PIH) marks are not true acne scars, but are brown spots left on the skin as inflamed pimples heal. PIH can make acne look worse, and if your skin has cleared up, the dark marks can make it look as if you have acne even if you don't. Either way, the dark spots gotta go!

Picking and pushing at pimples can cause acne scarring in Chico.
Incorrect pressure applied to a pimple can force it to rupture, and the bacteria, to spill into the dermis. The dermal layer is supposed to be free from harmful microbes so when it becomes contaminated, WBCs rush to the site of infection, pushing collagen and elastin out of the way. This displacement of protein fibers creates scarring in the form of indented acne scars.

Picking can lead to indentation acne scarring in Chico.
An incorrect approach to picking a pimple can cause a reverse rupture where bacteria is dumped into the dermis causing acne scarring.
Professional extractions from an acne specialist will not scar your skin. Preexisting infected acne pimples can damage and destroy the surrounding tissue, and once healed, will leave an indentation in the skin. If these types of lesions are present, it's important to have them drained to speed the healing process, but realize, the scar left behind is caused by the preexisting infection, not the extraction.
