One of the most effective ways to prevent acne scarring is to avoid picking at your blemishes. When you pick and pop at blemishes it causes the bacteria to spread making your face break out even more and can also cause major scarring.
Using an over the counter acne product to keep your flare ups under control is a good way to treat a mild case of acne. If you have more severe acne, consider visiting a dermatologist for more information and possibly an acne treatment prescription such as medicated lotions, creams, and gels. These medications can help reduce the frequency of break outs and thus reduce your chance for scarring.
If you have problems with whiteheads and blackheads on your face your dermatologist can surgically remove these with sterilized equipment. These instruments keep acne causing bacteria from spreading further. Trying to remove the blackheads and whiteheads yourself can cause more scarring.
