🧬 SCAR TYPES, ACNE SCARS & THEIR TREATMENT
Scars form when skin heals after acne, injury, surgery, or inflammation. Understanding the type of scar is important for effective treatment.
📌 TYPES OF SCARS
🔹 1. Atrophic Scars (Depressed Scars)
Most common in acne patients
Skin looks sunken or pitted
Includes: ice-pick, boxcar, rolling scars
🔹 2. Hypertrophic Scars (Raised Scars)
Raised above skin level
Caused by excess collagen healing
Often from surgery or deep acne
🔹 3. Keloid Scars
Overgrown thick scar tissue
Extends beyond original wound
More common on chest, shoulders, jawline
🔹 4. Post-Acne Marks (PIH/PIE)
Not true scars but pigmentation
Dark (PIH) or red marks (PIE)
Usually temporary but long-lasting without treatment
