What is Acne Scarring?

overview

Acne scarring occurs when breakouts damage the deeper layers of the skin. During healing, the skin produces too much or too little collagen, which leads to permanent changes in skin texture.

symptoms

Acne scars may appear as pits, depressions, or raised scars, depending on how the skin heals.

triggers

Inflamed acne lesions damage the surrounding skin tissue, factors that increase risk include picking or squeezing pimples, delayed acne treatment, severe or cystic acne genetic tendency to scar.
