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.
Even with the most careful and conscientious treatment, acne scars may still occur. But not all scars are created equal. Generally, acne scars fall into two categories: those caused by a loss of tissue (atrophic), and those caused by an excess of tissue (hypertrophic). Within these categories, acne scars fall into one of four types: ice pick, boxcar, rolling and keloid scars. Acne scars can be frustrating after effects of an acne breakout. They are not difficult to treat, but treatment is not always 100 percent successful.
