On one side we read that excess tissue formation leads to scarring, but a loss of tissue may also lead to various kinds if scars. These scars are like the scars that are left after small and chicken pox. They are very common, in fact more common that the keloids. There are internal scars also that are left after surgeries. From small ice pitch scars to the big fibrotic scars, all are products of loss of body tissues.
There are some scars that are soft to touch and may be deep seated or superficial. These are called soft scars. These are characterized by sloping, rolling edges, mingling with the normal skin. They are small, linear or dome shaped.
Many people have big scars in their back and upper arms and the buttocks. These scars are the big atrophic macules, which are much smaller on the face. They are bluish in color as the veins lie just below it. They turn white overtime and become negligible in fair skinned people, but shows even then in dark skinned people.

Acne can occur in the chest, back or upper arm and buttocks of a person. These are called follicular atrophic acne. these are soft lesions which are small in size and white in color. They are hardly visible above the skin and are similar in appearance to a whitehead. This condition of follicular macular atrophy is also called perifollicular elastolysis.
These can also be treated medically as a number of treatments are available. They give a rough texture to the skin. Like other forms of acne, this can also be treated by dermatologic surgery.. The treatment should be affordable also and not exorbitantly high. It should not take a toll on your pocket. You have to be very clear about what you want the results of the treatment to be. There is a possibility that treatment may lead to more scarring if your skin is susceptible to scar formation.
But the acne in the other parts of the body may get very nasty like in the case of conglobate acne and the gram negative type of acne. thus it is wrong to associate acne only with the face.

There is a stigma attached to visiting a psychiatrist. Because everybody is suggested that acne will eventually disappear. But if you are adversely affected by it, and weird questions bother you, then don’t hesitate in going to them.
If your acne makes you feel diffident or you are embarrassed by them, or you’ve become a pessimist since you’ve had acne, or people tease you a lot, or negative image created about acne by the media bothers you, or you’ve had a spoilt relationship due to acne and the ugliness that it causes, then just forget everything and go to the psychiatrist.
If you match any one of the following criteria then this is just the time for you to get a proper mental treatment done. Psychiatrist will give a new feel to your mind and life by clearing your mind off it and making you see the better things in life. Apart from this, new confidence will be infused in you once you start getting treated for it.

Due to the advances in the field of dermatology, today all cases of acne can be treated successfully. Even if these products do work, the result in the long run may not be very favorable. Everyone who has treated their acne will vouch with me that there is nothing like “miraculous” and “overnight” when it comes to acne treatment. On an average, it takes about two months to see the initial results. Once improvement is shown, the treatment must not be erratic or discontinuous. Whatever said and done, if no results are seen in 6 to 8 weeks, then the treatment needs to be adjusted or altered because one type of treatment is not the panacea for all types of acne. No one wants acne, but everyone does not do enough to prevent it from occurring. Acne treatment may be a long and tedious process. It requires a lot of patience. All the products in the market that claim to get the consumer’s skin right in a matter of hours or a few days, does not really work.
Another thing that one must keep in mind while dealing with acne is that every individual has a different skin type. Apart from that, it is not very simple to tell a pustule apart from a macule or a nodule from a cyst. The cause of occurrence of the acne may also differ from person to person. So, what works for one person, may not work for another.

At times, there are certain treatments that leave the skin even more injured than before. In those cases, skin grafting comes into picture. These injuries are mostly caused by dermabrasion. It leaves extensive tunnels, called sinus tracts, open or unroofed. Inflammatory reaction caused by sebum and bacteria follows. So to combat all of that, skin grafting is needed to close this defect caused by exposure of sinus tracts.
One of the most difficult thing to remove through surgery is a keloid. A skin that is susceptible to formation of keloids is extremely problematic. In this type of skin problem, if acne can cause keloids, then even a surgery can cause it. Injection of steroid drugs around a keloid helps treating of the keloid. Another way is to directly apply topical retinoic acid on the keloid. But the most widely used technique in this case is to use no technique at all. The keloids should just allowed to be, lest they might occur in greater quantities.
Summarizing all the treatment options available, acne scars are natural to form as inflammatory response to acne lesions. So it is best if acne is properly treated as early as possible and for as long as required.
