Acne Scars
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Acne scars are marks that can remain on the skin after acne breakouts, especially when the lesions were deep or inflamed. They vary in shape and depth and usually appear on the face, back, or chest.
Common types: depressions or indentations in the skin, raised areas, and changes in the color or texture of the affected area.
Why they arise: they occur when the skin's healing process alters its surface after acne inflammation.
The dermatologist is the professional who evaluates the condition of the skin and provides guidance on the available options; the aesthetic physician can also take part. If acne marks bother you, the most advisable thing is to have your case evaluated by a specialist who reviews your skin type.
