What causes acne scarring?

Acne scarring is the process in which the scars are formed as a result of the wound healing process of the skin after acne. So, the severity of scarring depends upon the severity of the acne. If the acne is present close to the skin, then the healing time is short and leads to minimal scarring. When the acne is penetrated deep down the skin, then the healing takes a longer time. The deeply penetrated acne also destroys the nearby tissue and leads to scarring.

During the wound healing process, the skin produces new collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that makes the skin strong and flexible. Scarring also depends upon the amount of collagen present during the healing process. If there is a minimum amount of collagen present during the healing, then the acne lesions are converted into depressed scars that are known as Atrophic Scars. When there is too much collagen present during the healing process, then the acne lesions get converted into a raised or elevated scar known as a Hypertrophic Scar.

When an acne lesion is popped up, the blood vessels connected to it are broken, which leaves a mark on the skin. The wounded skin also changes its color that leads to the hyperpigmentation of the skin, known as Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH).

What are the different types of Acne Scars?

Acne scars can be categorized as:

1. Atrophic or depressed scars
They are the most common type of scar. They are formed when enough collagen is not present during wound healing, hence causing depressions in the skin. There are three types of atrophic scars:

• Boxcar scar

They are broad and have sharp edges. These sharp edges go deep down in the skin. 

• Ice-pick scar

They are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. They are hard to treat and need aggressive treatment.

• Rolling scar

    They have sloppy edges, which give them an irregular and wavy appearance. 

2. Hypertrophic and raised scarring

They are common in the chest and back. They occur when too much collagen is present during the healing process. These scars can be itchy and painful. They are formed when the acne scar tissue builds up from the previous acne spot. They are of the same size as the acne, which caused them.
