The Five Types of Acne Scars
Acne scars are classified into five main types based on their appearance and the underlying skin damage. Understanding these types helps in selecting the appropriate treatment.
-
Ice Pick Scars
-
These are deep, narrow, and pitted scars that look like the skin has been punctured by a sharp object, such as an ice pick. They extend deep into the dermis.
-
Reference: Fabbrocini et al., Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2009.
-
-
Boxcar Scars
-
These are broad, rectangular or oval depressions with sharply defined edges. They tend to be wider and shallower than ice pick scars.
-
Reference: Jacob et al., Dermatologic Surgery, 2001.
-
-
Rolling Scars
-
Characterized by a wave-like, undulating appearance on the skin due to fibrous bands that pull the skin down. These scars create a rolling or uneven texture.
-
Reference: Jacob et al., Dermatologic Surgery, 2001.
-
-
Hypertrophic Scars
-
Raised scars that develop when excess collagen forms during healing, but the scar remains within the original boundaries of the wound.
-
Reference: Alster and Tanzi, Dermatologic Surgery, 2003.
-
-
Keloid Scars
-
These are thick, raised scars that grow beyond the original wound boundaries. They are more common in people with darker skin tones.
-
Reference: Niessen et al., Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1999.
