What are acne scars?

Whenever you get acne breakouts, pimples, or cystic acne, your body heals itself. But the skin growing over the wound might be of a different color, or the healing spot might appear different from other parts of the skin and is called an acne scar. Most of the mild acne scars fade away after a period, but some remain permanently. Acne scars might vary in size, shape, and colors. Some scars might be painful too. If the acne scars are painful and don't fade over a period, it calls for a session with a dermatologist.

Most acne scars first appear in light or pinkish color and eventually changes into a darker one. The color or time duration of an acne scar depends on the depth of the acne inflammation, pimple severity, or cystic acne you are having. The acne's location and severity also affect a scar's appearance.

Types of acne scars

The acne scars vary with their shape, size, and other factors. Some of the common types of acne scars are:

• Ice pick scars: These are deep, narrow scars that look like small holes in the skin, commonly caused by cystic acne.
• Boxcar scars: These are wide, shallow scars with sharp edges, often caused by inflammatory acne.
• Rolling scars:These are wide, shallow scars with sloping edges that give the skin a wavy appearance.
• Atrophic scars: Acne vulgaris or severe acne are the leading causes of such scars. They appear like small pits and are usually seen on the face.
• Hypertrophic scars: These raised scars can be identified when we run our fingers over them. They get smaller with time and don't spread beyond the damaged area.
• Keloid scars: These are raised, thick scars that extend beyond the original acne area, often caused by severe acne or acne surgery.

How are acne scars treated?

The acne scar treatment usually depends on the scar's size, location, and severity. The common acne scar treatments available in Chembur, Mumbai are:

• Dermabrasion: In this treatment, the doctor removes the upper layer and smoothens the skin. It reduces the dark appearance of acne scars and improves skin texture.
• Microneedling: The doctor uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production and reduce acne scars.
• Chemical peels:It is a technique that uses specific chemicals to peel the skin. It helps to reduce your acne marks and improve skin tone.
• Corticosteroid injections: Dr.Saney might also use corticosteroid injections to reduce the size of raised acne scars.
