Pimple scar & Pigmentation
Pimple Scars
Pimple scars occur when the skin’s healing process after acne is disrupted. There are different types:
🔹 Atrophic Scars (Depressed Scars): These scars cause indentations in the skin and are common after severe acne.
- Ice Pick Scars: Deep and narrow scars.
- Boxcar Scars: Wider, rectangular depressions.
- Rolling Scars: Wavy, shallow indentations.
🔹 Hypertrophic Scars: Raised, thick scars due to excessive collagen production.
Pigmentation (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)
This is the darkening of the skin in areas where acne has healed, often appearing as flat spots. It’s caused by increased melanin production due to skin inflammation.
