Acne scarring

While some people may never experience scarring, most acne patients are left with acne scars. The type of acne scarring you can experience all depends on the type of acne you develop.

Types of acne scars

1. Atrophic scars – broad, flat & shallow depressions in the skin. Their appearance can vary, but the three most common types are;

  • Boxcar scars – they’re usually wider, deeper and have straight edges shaped like a box. They’re the result of  widespread acne, chickenpox or itchy rashes. 
  • Icepick scars – they’re smaller, more narrow and deeper. 
  • Rolling scars – they’re vary in depth, with edges that make the skin appear uneven and wavy

2. Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation After acne heals, it often leaves behind discoloured patches of skin. But these aren’t scars and in most cases they’ll resolve on their own with the use of consistent sun protection.
