Acne Scars: Types and Treatment

Acne scars are classified as

• Rolling
• Icepick
• Boxcar

Rolling

Rolling scars occur as a result of tethering of otherwise normal appearing skin to the subcutaneous tissue below. This process gives the skin a rolling or undulating appearance. Conventional skin resurfacing techniques do not work on rolling scars. They must be corrected by breaking up the subcutaneous fibrous bands.

Icepick

Icepick scars are narrow, sharp scars that make the skin appear it has been punctured with an icepick. They are usually narrower than 2 mm and extend into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer. Icepick scars are usually too deep to correct with skin resurfacing treatments such as dermabrasion or laser resurfacing

Boxcar

Boxcar scars are round to oval depressions that have sharp vertical edges. Unlike icepick scars they do not taper to a point at the base. Shallow boxcar scars are 0.1-0.5 mm in depth and can usually be treated with conventional skin resurfacing techniques. Deep boxcar scars are >0.5 mm in depth and require full-thickness treatment techniques.

Causes of Scars

Acne is a very irritating problem and this causes the people to rub it and pick on it and this is what causes the fluid to seep from these pimples and then it spreads around the surrounding skin and then this is what causes more acne and the formation of acne scars
