Different Types of Acne Scars

There are many different types of acne scars and depending on what sort they are, you need to use different systems to get rid of them. In this article I'm going to quickly run through some different scars so you can get a better idea about what your dealing with.

Hypertrophic Scars

These types of scars come up as nothing more than a few red bumps. They come from all sorts of different things but they are mostly associated with acne. They are very similar to keloid which look very similar, but are more serious as they will continue to grow whilst these will fade over time.

Boxcar Scars

This type of scarring is kind of the same as what you would get from chicken pox. They are usually oval shaped and tend to be on peoples temples and cheeks.

Rolling Scars

These are named for there rolling hill appearance. They come from tissue damage underneath the skin and so surgery treatments like laser surgery will not work to remove them. The only real way to get rid of these is through subcision.

Ice Pick Scars

These are given this name for quite a particular reason. They were called this because they look similar ro if you were to hit a piece of wood repeatedly with an ice pick (you can't make this stuff up). It is also known by a more technical named 'depressed fibrotic scarring'.

Now that you know about the different types of acne scars you can research into how to get rid of the type you have. My main recommendation to you is, try creams and herbal remedies before you start looking into expensive surgery and laser treatments.
