Acne still constitutes to be a significant risk factor for psychological morbidity in both younger and older individuals of both sexes.
This dreaded disease is not just been associated with the health of the skin but also with a reduction in appearance-related satisfaction, self-esteem, and self-confidence, increased internalizing problems (anxiety and depression), and even suicidal ideation.

What Causes Acne Scars?
Both men and women who have had cystic acne during their lifetime are often left with scars. Acne, also called as acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin diseases that is commonly seen affecting the adolescents and the adults. Ther have been various types of studies which demonstrate that about 99% of the population have had acne at some point in their lives, varying in degree of severity, duration, and age of onset.
One of the frequent complications of long-standing acne that damages the skin is the formation of scars. They persist long even after the actual disease ended. These are usually formed during the healing process of lesions. Studies demonstrate that at least 50% pf patients who suffered from acne or suffering from acne may develop these scars. An acne scar is caused by collagen and epidermal damage to the skin after recurrent acne problems.
The severity of the disease is associated with an increased propensity for scarring. Similarly, the other risk factors which increase the risk of scaring on skin include
● The time between first onset of acne and first effective treatment
● The relapsing nature of acne vulgaris
● The acne scars are more seen in males, which lead to the conclusion of male gender as one of the risk factors.

The skin tone of Indians is different from those of the caucasians (the whites). The effects of acne are different in coloured skins (African, Asian, Middle Eastern and Hispanic descent). In the South Indian states, due to their proximity towards the equator, most of the skins of the Indians are darker, especially those residing in the south of India.
Despite possessing similar causes, risk factors, etc the effect of acne i.e. the clinical presentation of acne remains significantly different in darker skin types when compared to those of light skin tones. Among people suffering from acne with darker skin tones; the presentation features more likely to present include 2 distinct characters – dyspigmentation and scarring.
While dyspigmentation refers to an abnormality in skin pigmentation, characterized by either an increase (hyperpigmentation) or decrease (hypopigmentation) in melanin production, it must also be understood that it can manifest as patches of darker or lighter skin than the surrounding areas.
In the same way the intensity of scarring is comparatively higher among darker skin tones when compared to the lighter ones.
● Keloidal scarring is another finding more commonly seen among patients with darker skin tones. Keloidal scar tissue occurs approximately 5–16 times more often in people with darker skin tones as compared with their Caucasian counterparts (the whites).
● Keloidal scars resulting from acne are most frequently found on the chest, back, and jawline.
● Similar to hyperpigmentation, keloidal scarring can be permanent and is often more disfiguring than acne itself, leading to poorer quality-of-life outcomes.
● In darker skin individuals, there are several factors that could exacerbate acne such as cultural practices with skin and hair care products.
● The use of certain hair care products has been shown to result in the formation of pomade acne (closely packed, closed comedones, and small papules along the hairline).
● The excessive use of these cosmetic products resulting in comedone formation is referred to as acne cosmetica.
● These lesions occur due to follicular plugging and comedones with inflammatory changes, similar to acne vulgaris.
