Post acne marks, or macules, are commonly referred to as âacne scars.. Real acne scars, however, are the indentations or protrusions left behind by acne. Here is a picture of my left cheek that shows the difference between acne scars and acne marks (as well as my large pores): Acne scars vs. Acne marks. As you can see, my acne scars are colorless but indented, and my acne marks are dark but flat.
Acne papules aren't the only red, inflamed bump you can get on the skin. Papules can be small or large. But if you have a blemish that is especially red, swollen, and painful, it may not be a papule at all. Instead, you might have an acne nodule. Nodules are similar to papules -- they both form because of a blockage of the hair follicle. But nodules happen deeper in the skin, and are more serious form of blemish than a papule. They happen when their is a deep break in the follicle wall and the infected material spills into the dermis.
