Formation of Acne Scars

by Corey Evans

Acne infections destroy collagen and elastin fibers, sever the microvascular system and harm and kill cells. When healing occurs, and an acne injury is not adequately treated, a scar is left in the skin. The healthy skin is thus replaced by a scar.

Acne is a complex ailment that depends basically on:

A) elevated sebum production in conjunction with

B) toxins inside your skin due to the intake of protein of low quality.

These elements get deposited by your lymph system and placed underneath the skin. There they absorb moisture from the external layer of the skin making it feel dry. The build-up causes excess pressure on the glandular ducts not allowing sebum to evacuate freely which in turn creates a rich feeding ground for bacteria and inflammation.

Anything that causes excess water retention inside your skin can pinch off the sebaceous glands inside your skin and make you break out sebum where acne bacteria will grow, in minutes, especially if you are going through a period of elevated sebum production. Excess salt and spices are common triggers, so if you consume too many potato chips you're exposing yourself to the high possibility of acne breakouts.

Heat damages and/or changes essential nutrients. New damaging substances are formed in all animal or vegetable aliments that are cooked. Dietary protein is partially damaged in the preparation process. Protein molecules react with dietary carbohydrates, forming new molecules. This process is called "the Maillard reaction", and the same occurs to peptides because of simple oxidation.

Digestive enzymes break protein amino acids, only if the targeted part of the protein matches what the enzyme is programmed for. If the targeted amino-acids have changed due to heat there is no separation. The un-separated amino-acid chains are transported by the lymph system, at a much lower rate than by blood. And such cargo of Maillard reaction and altered peptide products is discharged into the skin so that the lymph can return to the digestive tract and the liver to pick up new cargo of valuable nutrients that it transports for use by the body's organs.

Cooked proteins transform into broken peptides not absorbed into your blood system but disposed off by your lymphatic system. And end up in the inner layer of your skin catching moisture and compressing your sebaceous glands to the point of clogging them, and thus pimples are formed.
