Nobody likes a pimple, especially when it shows up on the day of a big event. However, most people can treat pimples with over-the-counter products and be on their way. For general acne tips, you might find our All About Acne article helpful, but what about when you have aggressive acne on your body that gets to a point of causing scars?
With most regular cases of acne, it should clear up with a few treatments, but acne such as cystic acne, remedying can be a daunting process. Cystic acne is caused by bacteria getting into the pores which, in turn, causes swelling and inflammation resulting in painful, pus-filled pimples that formed deep into the skin. It’s the most severe type and is what will most likely cause any scarring. For natural treatment options, consider reading How Do Acne Home Remedies Work? or Treating Adult Acne with Certified Organic Medicine.
Unfortunately, if you’re a teenager or have family history of severe acne, you’re more likely to experience cystic acne. For teenagers dealing with acne, our Teen Acne: 10 Tips on How to Manage & Prevent Breakouts offers valuable advice. Adults continuing to struggle with acne can find insights in Adults and Acne: Why You Still Can Have Blemishes into Your 20's. Don't forget that acne isn't limited to the face; if you're experiencing back acne, read Bacne 101: Tips for Dealing with Back Acne for targeted solutions.
So, how can you prevent this?Control Your Acne
As with any blemishes and acne, it’s important to develop a daily skincare routine that includes washing your face in the morning and evening. That might incorporate soap and water or a more personalized skincare product that works best for you. It’s also important to try and keep your hands away from your face.
If you wear makeup, make sure your brushes are clean and if you use moisturizer or sunscreen, and be aware of the oils in the products.

How To Treat Pitted Scars
If you have tried everything in the book, it might be a good idea to see a dermatologist to get on a medicated acne treatment. Yet, if you are noticing your skin is clearing up, but now you’re left with deep rooted scars, what do you do?
First off, yes, scars can be removed and can eventually vanish if you use the right treatments. If you’re not already, make sure that you are using sunscreen. Sunscreen can actually help limit the contrast between unscarred skin and a scar. Some medicated creams, such as those containing azelaic acid or hydroxyl acids, might help too.
There are also options to have soft tissue fillers injected into your skin, steroid injections, laser therapy, and surgery. However, At Forces of Nature, we’d like to help save you the high price tag and invasive treatments. Try using our natural scar remedy that can safely dissolve old and new scars.
Our natural scar treatment is one of our most popular products and is highly effective working time after time. It helps dissolve scar tissue safely and effectively while nourishing and moisturizing damaged skin. This treatment also helps reduce scars from injury or surgery.
