Looking After Your Raised Acne Scars

Acne is extremely common, affecting around 80% of adolescents and young adults. Mainly occurring on the face, chest and back, 14% of people are then also left with red, raised scars. However, there are some things you can do to help prevent and treat your raised acne scar:

Keep your scars clean. Wash the area under running tap water, saline (a salt water solution) or use an alcohol-free wipe.

Avoid too much exposure to the sun. Scar tissue is very sensitive, this makes it very easy for scars to get sunburnt.

Extremes of temperature can make itchy scars worse, particularly heat so avoid very hot baths or showers.

Applying a silicone gel such as KELO-COTE® advanced formula to a healed scar will help flatten, soften and smooth raised scars.
