How to Get Rid of Acne Scars

Acne or Breakouts is the most common skin issue every other person is dealing or has dealt with. While they are pretty devastating on their own but what they leave behind ‘acne scars’ is something that takes a lot of time and patience to heal.

Although acne scars won't completely disappear on their own, there are several natural products that can help heal your acne scars faster.

Here's a short brief on the many types of acne scars, their causes and the best ways to get rid of them faster.

Types of Acne Scars

Acne can range from mild to severe. Nodules or cysts, which are painful, pus-filled bumps underneath the skin's surface, can develop as a result of severe acne.

1) Atrophic scars

Flat, shallow depressions known as atrophic scars heal beneath the skin. As the skin heals, collagen is lost, which results in depressed acne scars.

• Ice pick scars: tiny, deep skin holes
• Boxcar scars: larger, oval or rounded regions of skin that are sunken and have prominent edges resemble the scars from the chicken pox.
• Rolling atrophic scars: Wide skin depressions that resemble a "M" pattern and have a rolling or undulating appearance.

2) Hypertrophic (raised) scars

The skin occasionally makes an excessive amount of collagen as it recovers from acne. Raised scars develop as a result of this. They typically appear on the back and chest.

3) Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Although technically not scars, dark patches are an obvious sign of acne. Where acne has healed, the inflammatory process of acne can cause hyperpigmentation, or discolouration.

Causes of Acne Scars

Acne scars are the by-products of a severe acne condition. When your skin pores get clogged by excess oil and dead skin cells, acne develops. Sometimes, it shows up right at the skin's surface, indicating that it will probably heal quickly with the least scarring. However, acne takes longer to clear up when it is set deeper in the skin. This causes scars more frequently because it dives deeper and damages more of your skin tissue.

Your body will replace the lost skin tissue after a breakout in an effort to cure itself. When the body either generates too little or too much of this tissue, scarring follows. The acne lesion becomes a raised scar – known as a hypertrophic scar, when the body overproduces tissue; whilst lack of tissue results in atrophic scars.
