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.
Types of Acne Scars. As the wound heals, the body sometimes produces too much collagen, which creates a mass of raised tissue on the skin's surface. This type of scarring is called hypertrophic, or keloid, scarring. More commonly, acne causes atrophic, or depressed, scars. Atrophic scars develop when there is a loss of tissue.
