What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars are the result of inflammation caused by acne. When a breakout penetrates the skin deeply, it damages the skin and the tissue beneath it. As the acne clears, the body tries to repair this damage. During the healing process, the body produces collagen—a substance that gives the skin support. Scars are formed if the body produces too little or too much collagen.

TYPES OF ACNE SCARS

Acne scars can vary significantly in shape, size, and appearance and are primarily categorized into the following types:

 

  • Ice Pick Scars
  • Boxcar Scars
  • Rolling Scars
