What are the Different Types of Acne Scars?
There are different types of acne scarring, including atrophic or depressed scarring and more significant scars called hypertrophic or keloid scars.
Dr. Rebecca Baxt explains the 4 different types of acne scars as follows:
1. Hypertrophic or Keloid Scars:
Raised, thickened areas of significant scar tissue that extend above the skin’s surface. They’re often painful, tender, and/or itchy.
2. Ice Pick Scar:
These deep acne scars look like small, narrow holes in the skin—wide at the surface and narrowing sharply as they go deeper into the skin, similar to an ice pick wound.
3. Rolling Scar:
Caused by long-term, inflammatory acne, these scars create broad, shallow indentations that makes the skin look and feel uneven.
4. Boxcar Scar:
These are broad, well-defined depressions in the skin with sharp edges, often caused by severe acne.
Each type of scar requires a specific treatment to minimize the appearance of the scar.
