Types of Acne Scarring
Ice Pick Scars
Ice pick scars are narrow but deep, often extending beyond the skin’s surface layers. These are among the most common types of acne scars.
Rolling Scars
Rolling scars create an undulating appearance on the skin due to underlying damage. They are usually shallow but wide.
Boxed Scars
Similar to ice pick scars in prevalence, boxed scars are wider with well-defined edges and often appear oval-shaped.
