What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars are the marks left on the skin after acne has healed. They can develop anywhere acne has previously appeared and come in various forms, including:

  • Ice pick scars – Narrow, deep scars with a widened surface and a tapered base.

  • Boxcar scars – Round or square depressions that look like a dent in the skin.

  • Rolling scars – Uneven wavy or rippled skin texture.

  • Hypertrophic scars – Flat or raised scar tissue.

  • Spot scars – Darkened spots left behind after a breakout.

  • Keloid scars – Raised bumps above the skin surface.

  • Boxcar scars – Round or square depressions that look like a dent in the skin.

  • Perifollicular elastolysis – Small, round bumps that match the skin tone.

Acne scars are very common and vary in severity, depth, and appearance.

What Causes Acne Scars?

There are several factors that contribute to acne scarring:

  • Severe, deep acne (such as nodules and cysts) increases the likelihood of scars.

  • Picking or squeezing pimples can inflame the skin, leading to scarring.

  • Overproduction of collagen during healing can result in raised scars.

  • Genetics also play a role—some people are more prone to scarring due to their skin’s natural healing response.
