ACNE SCAR
Scars are formed when a breakout penetrates the skin deeply and damages the tissues beneath it. It is the replacement of tissue by fibrous tissue.
Types Of Acne Scars
Atrophic Scars – flat, thin scars or depressed scars. It occurs when there is loss of tissue.
Ice-Pick Scars – these are deep, narrow, pitted scars
Boxcar scars – broad depressions with sharply defined edges
Rolling Scars – broad depressions with a sloping edge
Hypertrophic or Kleoid Scars –These scars are caused when the body produces too much collagen as acne wounds heal, resulting in a mass of raised and thick lumpy scars.
Some people are most likely to see scars after their pimple clears, some may have inflammation e. swollen, reddish, and painful acne.
This type of acne tends to penetrate deep into the skin, which damages the skin. The longer a person has inflammatory acne, the greater the risk of scarring.
You should never pick or squeeze, or pops your acne that increases the risk of scarring
