Do You Know Your Acne Scar Type?
Aren’t acne scars one such skin concern that you constantly try to get rid of? Be it with patches of concealers or layers of liquid foundation, you give it your best shot to hide these scars as much as possible. But while you’re busy trying hard to eliminate these scars, are you aware that these regular looking scars are further divided into various categories as well? Yes that’s right! Acne scars are classified into various types.
Here are some types of acne scars that can commonly be spotted on your skin.
The Types Of Acne Scars
Ice Pick Acne Scars

If your skin is prone to acne, you are likely to witness the arrival of ice pick scars. These scars develop when you experience severe acne that goes deeper into your skin pores. Ice pick acne scars can be identified by their narrowness, seeming like small yet deep holes punctured into the outer layer of skin.
Boxcar Acne Scars

As compared to ice pick scars, boxcar scars are broader in size which give your skin an uneven, pocky look. These scars are generally formed when the inflammation damages the skin tissues on the top layer of your skin. Such damage creates a concave area on your skin, giving rise to boxcar acne scars.
Rolling Scars

Rolling scars may seem to be similar to boxcar scars but there is a slight difference that distinguishes them. Rolling scars too are broad, uneven scars but they make it appear like the layer of skin itself is hollow. This is because rolling scars are caused when the skin fibre that develops below your skin starts stretching the scars, giving your skin an uneven appearance.
