Acne scars are the result of inflammatory acne lesions, such as cysts, papules, pustules, or nodules, damaging the skin's collagen and leaving permanent indentations or marks after healing. These scars can manifest in various forms, including:

​

1. Icepick Scars: Small, deep pits or punctures in the skin, resembling icepick marks or large open pores.

2. Boxcar Scars: Broad, shallow depressions with well-defined edges, resembling boxcar-shaped craters on the skin's surface.

3. Rolling Scars: Wide, shallow depressions with a wave-like or undulating appearance, giving the skin a rolling or wavy texture.

4. Hypertrophic Scars: Raised, thickened scars that develop when the body produces too much collagen during the healing process, resulting in a raised or bumpy texture.

5. Keloid Scars: Overgrown scars that extend beyond the boundary of the original acne lesion, often appearing as firm, raised lumps on the skin.

 

Acne scars typically affect the deeper layers of the skin, including the dermis, where collagen production is disrupted during the healing process.
