Even if you do everything right when you have acne – try and reduce the swelling outbreaks, don’t pick the spots or pimples etc – you may still get some acne scars. There are different kinds of acne scars though and in this article I’ll be going over the most common ones with their most recognisable names. All these different types of scars have different treatment options and you should visit the dermatologist to find out which type of treatment is best for you.
Ice Pick Scars
As the name suggests, these scars are narrow but also deep and resemble a scar that might be made by a tooth or ice pick. They are usually treated with a method called punch grafting.
Boxcar Scars
Whereas ice pick scars are narrow and deep, boxcars are much wider dips in the skin. They can be treated with a variety of methods including laser treatment.
Keloid Scars
While the previous two scars are dips or depressions in the skin, keloid are raised areas of skin.
They develop for a different reason than the other types of cars – due to too much collagen.
There are plenty of other variations on these scars but this provides and overview of the most common forms. They usually have more than one treatment option so don’t be surprised if your specialist recommends a type of treatment that hasn’t been mentioned here. Acne scars can usually be treated successfully but it does depend on the severity of the scarring and the type.
