After dealing with acne you also have to face the bitter reality of the scars that this facial condition has left behind. Acne scars appears when the healing process has started due to too much collagen building up in one single spot. Since the wound that creates the acne scars occur within the dermis it means it is not superficial, it is within our skin and that makes it hard to get rid of. Not cleaning or treating the affected area is usually the cause of scars forming where the white and black heads used to be. Although picking at acne lesions may cause more harm to your skin than the acne itself. Four kinds of acne scars There are different types of acne scars under two categories, atrophic which is loss of tissue and hypertrophic due to excess of tissue. These two types of categories can be divided in to four types of scaring:

Ice pick scars: The most common type of acne scaring. This type of scar has a deep narrow pit formed in the dermis layer of the skin.

Boxcar scars: These scars are similar to chicken pocks scars, they are round or oval with angular edges and are most common on the cheeks.

Rolling scars: These scars have a wave-like appearance, they are usually shallow and wide.

Hypertrophic or keloid scars: These are raised and kind of lumpy scars that can spread beyond the original wound. These are most commonly found on the back and chest, but can also appear in the neck and face area.

The different types of scars usually appear together in the same area of the skin. There are several treatments available on the market, but is there any natural treatment that really works?
