Acne Scars are a result of the permanent effects of acne on the skin after the acne itself has subsided.
Acne scarring is a result of many factors. White blood cells are produced by the body to combat the inflammation caused by excess sebum in the sebaceous glands. After the inflammation has been alleviated, the tissue surrounding the area might not experience full recovery. This produces the visible effect of scar tissue. Most marks on the skin are not actually scars, less severe marks will often disappear within a few months.
There are two main kinds of acne scarring.
Hypertrophic scarring: The excessive growth of tissue. Excessive collagen is produced to repair the tissue, and the excess tissue produced thus produces the bumpy appearance.
Atrophic scarring: The loss of tissue due to the inflammation caused by acne bacteria around the region.
