Can we prevent acne scars?

Best way to prevent acne scar , is to treat acne early and properly . Other than that a few simple measures may 
help :

  1. Use of effective sunscreens .
  2. Using tretinoin under the advice of a dermatologist . This speeds up the skin's remodeling process and helps heal post-inflammatory changes .
  3. Using Alpha-Hydroxy Acids ( AHAs ) and under the advice of a dermatologist .
  4. Picking at scabs should be avoided at all costs . Scabs form to guard the healing procedure that is going on below them . Pulling a scab off before it is ready hampers the healing and remodeling process which in turn lead to formation of scar .
