Have you ever wondered what causes these acne scars and dark spots? Read further to learn more about this and much more.

What Causes Acne Scars and Dark Spots?

Acne Scars

If we discuss in normal language, acne scars occur due to healing that takes place post-inflammation and damage caused to the skin by stubborn and deep acne breakouts. Moreover, as a common thought or cause, picking or squeezing acne may also cause or darken acne scars. Here is how it happens.

• Deep damage and inflammation are caused in the deeper layers of the skin due to acne breakouts.

• The skin tries to heal it by producing collagen. If collagen is produced more or less than the required amount or if the healing process gets disturbed, acne scars are formed.

Now, have a look at some other reasons too.

• The severity of acne is the most normal and obvious reason for acne scars. Severe acne like cysts and nodules normally causes more scarring than normal acne.

• Disturbing acne like picking or squeezing damages the skin and increases the possibility of scarring.

• Any acne that remains untreated for a long time, can cause inflammation and scars and sometimes worsen the scarred condition.

• Genes also play an important role in skin health. Some scars are genetically transferred to people.

Dark spots

Now let's talk about dark spots. Dark spots are generally harmless but various treatments are available for lightening these spots as these don't look aesthetically pleasing. Everyone doesn't go for expensive treatments, some use face creams like glycolic cream for acne scars as these are quite affordable and work amazingly.

Dark spots happen due to the overproduction of a substance called melanin (that gives colour to our eyes, hair and skin). These spots vary in size and colour, depending on the reason. Generally, the colour of dark spots varies from light brown to dark brown or sometimes greyish-brown, depending on a person’s skin tone or the cause of it. It can happen anywhere on the body, especially on sun-exposed areas like the face, back, shoulders, back of the hands etc. A good cream for melasma and pigmentation works on dark spots too. Now let's discuss the causes of dark spots.

• Sun damage is the most common cause of dark spots. Exposure to the sun or tanning beds can cause sun spots on arms, face or hands.

• Hormonal changes cause a lot of changes in skin health, especially in the case of females. Dark spots and melasma occur in the female's body throughout their reproductive years.

• Certain medications like anti-inflammatory drugs, chemotherapy drugs,  etc. may also cause side effects that may lead to skin pigmentation and dark spots.

• Inflammation caused due to any reason like acne, eczema, injury, or psoriasis may develop dark spots.

• Wounds (from cut, burn or insect bite) and irritation (say, from some cosmetic product) may cause dark spots but these may lighten over time.

• It has been observed in some people that dark spots could be an indication of skin cancer too. These spots could be asymmetrical, irregularly coloured, changing in colour or size, or larger than one-quarter of an inch.
