Your body will response to injury that caused by inflammatory acne lesions and form acne scar. Normally, scarring is a result of severe nodular acne that occurs deep in the skin. However it can be arise from more superficial inflamed lesions.
In most cases, the acne scars that people get are mild type. Some of them may have the scars that look significant even to others. To minimize the risk of permanent acne scars, it will be better too prevent and treat the acne right away as sometimes even mild acne can cause scarring. However you can treat these acne scars by using the acne scar removal that I recommended in my website.
Below are the 2 reasons due to the types of tissue response to the inflammation of acne:
Increased Tissue Formation
The scars caused by increased tissue formation are called keloids or hypertrophic scars. These acne scars are the most common types that bulge out and look like lumps. Both scars are associated with an exaggerated formation of scar tissue due to excessive amounts of collagen production.
Overproduction of collagen is a response of skin cells to injury. It will become piled up in fibrous masses and form an irregularly-shaped scar. Sometimes, size of it will goes far beyond what would be expected from what seems to be a minor injury. It is kind of an ‘over-scarring’ which are more commonly occur in dark-skinned individual.
Loss of Tissues
Acne scars resulting from loss of tissue are more common than scars resulting from increased tissue formation. Some appear as holes, pits, or craters in the skin which called atrophic scar or crateriform scars. These depressed, cavity-like, inward-directed scars are associated with a lack of tissue that occurs when the inflammation from healed acne causes destruction to the skin. The scar tissue contracts and binds the skin down.
It is not easy to treat acne scar, however you can do it with proper treatment. Nowadays, there are various types of acne scar removal that you can use based on the kind of skin you have and the kinds of scars you have. However for some people who have a combination of different types of scars, one acne scar treatment may not work on them all.
