acne scars
Blemish damage remnants
Acne scars are permanent marks or pits left on the skin after severe acne heals.
They form when inflamed blemishes damage the underlying tissue, leaving depressions, raised areas, or discoloration.
Unlike temporary red marks that fade, true acne scars involve structural changes to the skin: She's self-conscious about the acne scars on her cheeks.
Treatments range from chemical peels to laser resurfacing.
