Acne scars are a common concern for individuals who have struggled with acne breakouts. At Chavans Cosmetic Clinic, we believe that acne scars shouldn’t be a permanent reminder of your skin’s past. With modern dermatological advances, smoother, healthier-looking skin is within reach.

Dr. Swetha Chavan, Founder and Chief Consultant at Chavans Cosmetic Clinic, sheds light on the types of acne scars, their causes, and the most effective treatments available today.

🔬 What Are Acne Scars? Acne scars are marks or indentations left on the skin after severe acne heals. They result from inflammation damaging the skin’s collagen and tissue.

📋 Common Types of Acne Scars

1. Atrophic Scars (Depressed Scars)
   • Ice Pick Scars: Deep and narrow.
   • Boxcar Scars: Wide with sharp edges.
   • Rolling Scars: Wavy or sloped appearance.
2. Hypertrophic Scars (Raised Scars)
   • Raised and firm, more common on the chest and back.
3. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
   • Dark spots that remain after acne has healed (not a true scar but often mistaken as one).

💥 What Causes Acne Scarring?

• Delayed or improper acne treatment
• Picking or squeezing pimples
• Severe cystic acne
• Genetic predisposition

❌ Common Myths About Acne Scars

• Myth 1: Acne scars will fade on their own.
  

  Some mild marks may fade, but most require professional treatment.

• Myth 2: Home remedies like lemon juice can erase scars.
  

  They may worsen the condition and irritate the skin.

• Myth 3: Only teenagers get acne scars.
  

  Adult acne can also leave lasting scars if untreated.
