Blemishes and Pimples
All acne starts forming in the same way. It starts with a “microcomedone” deep in the dermal (the lower) layers of the skin. As this microcomedone makes it way up through the layers of the skin, one of two things can happen. Either this new lesion can become a non-inflamed acne lesion like a blackhead or whitehead; or it can become an inflamed lesion, better known as a pimple. There is very little known about why a lesion becomes noninflamed or inflamed - the best guess is that you inherit the tendency towards inflammation or not.
To get rid of pimples, not only do you need to have the right products, you need to use them in the right way. It takes an experienced Acne Specialist to guide you - they will know which products to recommend for your type of acne. Then they will guide you in how to use the products in a systematic way to get your skin clear as fast as possible.
The term “blemish” has a wide range of meanings. Generally, it is any mark that is left over from acne rather than the acne itself. Skin blemishes need to be treated the same way acneic skin is treated. The main concern for blemish control is the same for acne - to keep any new acne from forming in the first place. If you have your acne under control, you can say bye bye blemishes as well.
