Scarring

Scarring occurs when the skin heals after injury, surgery, or severe acne, especially cystic acne. During repair, the skin may produce too much or too little collagen, resulting in different types of scars. Atrophic scars are sunken scars, often caused by acne, and include ice pick scars (deep, narrow scars), boxcar scars (broad, box-shaped depressions), and rolling scars (wave-like, uneven depressions). Hypertrophic scars are raised scars caused by excess collagen that remain within the original injury area. Keloid scars are raised scars that extend beyond the original injury site and may continue to grow over time.
