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

Acne is a complex condition that depends basically on:

A) increased 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 under the skin. There they trap moisture from the external layer of the skin making it feel dry. As a matter of fact excess build up will result in an excessive pressure on the sebaceous glands "pinching them off" and thus hindering the flow of sebum, clogging pores and eventually breaking sebum out onto the surface or inside the skin follicles where there is a rich environment for the proliferation of acne bacteria, inflammation and the skin lesions that characterize acne.

Anything that promotes 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, specially if you are going through a period of high sebum production. Excess salt and spices are the most common triggers, so if you eat too many potato chips you're exposing yourself to the high possibility of acne breakouts.

Heat destroys and/or changes basical nutrients. New harmful substances are formed in all animal or vegetable aliments that are heated. Dietary protein is partially altered in the cooking process. Protein molecules interact with dietary carbohydrates, forming new molecules. This mechanism is known as "the Maillard reaction", and the same occurs to peptides because of simple oxidation.

Stomach enzymes break protein amino acids, only if the targeted portion of the protein matches what the enzyme is programmed for. If the targeted amino-acids have mutated due to heat there is no separation. The un-separated amino-acid chains are carried by the lymph network, 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 carries for use by the body's organs.

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