SCARS
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Scarring can occur as a result of damage to the skin during the healing of active acne. There are two basic types of scar depending on whether there is a net loss or gain of collagen (atrophic and hypertrophic scars). Eighty to ninety percent of people with acne scars have scars associated with a loss of collagen (atrophic scars) compared to a minority who show hypertrophic scars and keloids.

Atrophic scars
PHYSICAL
More common than keloids and hypertrophic scars, they are subclassified into ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.

Icepick: narrow, punctiform, and deep scars.
Rolling: dermal tethering of the dermis to the subcutis.
Boxcar: round or oval scars with well-established vertical edges.

CAUSES
Typically caused by inflammatory conditions.As the skin undergoes the natural healing process and repairs itself, scar tissue is formed.

Hypertrophic and keloidal scars
PHYSICAL
Typically pink, raised, and firm, with thick hyalinized collagen bundles. More common in darker-skinned individuals and occur predominantly on the trunk.
CAUSES
Mainly associated with excess collagen deposition and decreased collagenase activity.
