<\/span><\/h2>\nThe term "scarring" refers to a fibrous process in which collagen<\/span> it is placed to heal a full thickness injury. It affects 30% in people with moderate or severe acne vulgaris. It is particularly common in nodulocystic acne, acne conglobata, and fulminant acne. It can also be a long-term consequence of childhood acne.<\/p>\nTo reduce the possibility of scarring, seek treatment for your acne early. Severe acne can often be cured.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Acne scars<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

<\/span>What are they post-inflammatory<\/span> color changes?<\/span><\/h2>\nPostinflammatory color changes are observed after inflammatory<\/span> Acne lesions have recently healed.<\/p>\n\n- Post-inflammatory erythema<\/span> - flat patches of pink or purple<\/li>\n
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation<\/span> - brown marks (pigmentation), seen in people who can easily tan<\/li>\n
- Post-inflammatory hypopigmentation<\/span> - White marks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Post-inflammatory color changes improve over time, but it can take many months for them to fully resolve.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Post-inflammatory color changes in acne.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

<\/span>What is the treatment for post-inflammatory pigmentation?<\/span><\/h2>\nTreatments for post-inflammatory pigmentation include:<\/p>\n
\n- Careful sun protection: Although inflammatory acne lesions may improve, brown marks darken with sun exposure. Apply a broad-spectrum oil-free sunscreen and wear a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors<\/li>\n
- \n
Azelaic acid cream<\/span> - this reduces pigmentation and effectively treats mild to moderate acne<\/li>\n- \n
Hydroquinone whitening creams: these inhibit<\/span> the enzyme<\/span> tyrosinase<\/span> that causes tanning (see melasma)<\/li>\n- Superficial chemical peels containing glycolic acid or Jessner solution<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>What are the characteristics of persistent scars?<\/span><\/h2>\nUnfortunately, true acne scars never completely go away, although their appearance generally improves over time. They can be disguised with makeup (cosmetic camouflage).<\/p>\n
The following types of scar<\/span> occur in acne:<\/p>\n\n- Ice pick scars: these are deep, narrow and pitted scars<\/li>\n
- Rolling Scars - Wide Depressions with a Slanted Edge<\/li>\n
- Wagon Scars - Wide Depressions with Sharp Edges<\/li>\n
- \nAtrophic<\/span> scars: flat, thin, or depressed scars (anetoderma)<\/li>\n
- \nHypertrophic<\/span> Keloid Scars: Lumpy and lumpy scars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

TCA CROSS (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) uses precisely placed 50-100% trichloroacetic acid<\/li>\n
- \n
Subcision\u00ae: a surgical technique in which the fibrous band under the scar is divided, allowing the skin to return to its normal position<\/li>\n
- Larger scars can be removed (cut) and closed to form a scar in a thin line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Atrophic and rolling scars<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- \nSoft fabric<\/span> increase<\/span> Techniques such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, gelatin matrix and fat implants.\n<\/li>\n

<\/span>Hypertrophic scars<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Powerful current<\/span> steroids applied under occlusion<\/span> to the scar for a few weeks<\/li>\n
- \n

- Silicone gel<\/span> Dressings applied 24 hours a day continuously for a few months.<\/li>\n
- Skin puncture<\/li>\n
- \nCryotherapy<\/span> (freezing)<\/li>\n
- Surgical review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
