Acne during adolescence and young adulthood is a source of embarrassment and self-consciousness. Sadly, for some, acne leaves behind unsightly scars to serve as a painful reminder of this difficult time in your life.
Approximately 95% of acne patients develop some degree of scarring, and genetics has a significant impact on their severity. Asian and Hispanic acne sufferers tend to have more severe acne and more severe acne scarring.
