Acne is a generalized condition of skin that lead to formation of pimples, mostly on face. Similarly Scars are left out marks of some injury or surgery. Presence of Acne and Scar can make us uncomfortable and frustrating.  This mostly develops in teenage and may persist for longer periods as well.  If not treated and removed timely, these marks continue to be there for very long time.

In order to keep hair & skin well lubricated our body depends on Sebaceous glands located just under skin. These glands secret an oily substance which coats skin and hair to prevent them from drying out. This oily substance travel up the skin trough pores to surface of the skin. When our body produces extra oily substance, it along with dead skin stick together and clog pores. These skin blemishes attract bacteria and provide platform for their growth in clogged portion leading to inflammation.

• Depending on area where the clog is located and inflammation, acne may appear as white heads. These are nothing but clogged follicles closed off from air.
• When the clogged portion is exposed to air it turn black and have black heads.
