Acne redness and the associated acne scars is the most common problem that people face after having pimple break-outs! Acne is caused by clogging of the skin pores by sebum and further inflammation by the skin bacteria on the dead skin cells accumulated on the pores. All this causes the skin to swell and become red with probably a “pus” tip. Soon the pimple dries away on its own will and leaves acne redness and acne scars.
