Acne scar is caused by the body’s response to injury caused by inflammatory acne lesions. Most often, scarring results from severe nodular acne that occurs deep in the skin. However scarring also may arise from more superficial inflamed lesions.

The acne scars that most people having are mild type. Some of the scars are look significant even to others. Prevention and to treat acne right away will be the best approach among all as sometimes even mild acne can cause scarring and this will minimize the risk of permanent acne scars. By using the acne scar removal that I recommended in my website will help you to get rid of acne scars.

Below are the 2 reasons due to the types of tissue response to the inflammation of acne:

Increased Tissue Formation

One of the reasons that acne scars form is the increased tissue formation which known as keloids or hypertrophic scars. They are the most common type of acne scars that bulge out and look like lumps. Due to the excessive amounts of collagen production, these scars are associated with an exaggerated formation of scar tissue.

When the skin cells injury, our body will be produce more collage. An irregularly-shape scar will form as the collage become piled up in fibrous masses. Moreover, the size of it can be increased till look like a minor injury. It is known as an ‘over-scarring’ and usually occur in dark-skinned individual.

Loss of Tissues

Compare to scars that resulting from increased tissue formation, acne scars resulting from loss of tissue are more common. They are known as atrophic scar or crateriform scars which normally appear as holes, pits, or craters in the skin. When the inflammation from healed acne causes destruction to the skin, a lack of tissue will occurs and the depressed, cavity-like, inward-directed scars will form. This scar tissue will become smaller and binds the skin down.

Although acne scar is hard to cure, however you can do it if you choose the right treatment. Based on the kinds of scars you have and the kind of skin you have, you will be able to select the suitable acne scar removal. However if one acne scar treatment may not work, you can try a combination of different types of scars.
