Acne is mostly an inflammatory response to injuries caused to the cells lining the sebum ducts by the sheer force of sebum outbreaks or by hardened sebum within the hair follicles, and is followed by the proliferation of acne bacteria, within clogged pores.
Acne treatments must address both inflammation and acne bacteria, and they should always aim to avoid acne scarring.
Even with the most careful and conscientious treatment, acne scars may still occur. But not all scars are created equal.
Generally, acne scars fall under two categories: those caused by a loss of tissue (atrophic), and those caused by an excess of tissue (hypertrophic or keloid scars).
Within these categories, acne scars fall into one of five types: boxcar, pitted acne scars, ice pick, rolling scars and keloid scars.
Boxcar Scars
Boxcar scars occur when an inflamed acne lesion destroys tissue, leaving a sunken area on the skin. They have an oval shape and look like depressions in the skin. Unlike ice pick scars, boxcar scars do not taper to a point. Depending on how severe acne is, the depth of the boxcar scars varies. This kind of scar is most frequently seen on temples and cheeks.
Skin resurfacing techniques such as dermabrasion or laser resurfacing may be used to treat this kind of scar.
How Boxcar Acne Scars Develop?
When an inflammatory breakout destroys collagen, tissue is lost. The skin over this area is left without support, and a depressed area is created. Boxcar scars may be superficial to severe, depending on the amount of tissue lost.
Before choosing a certain acne scar treatment it is very important to analyze the advantages and the disadvantages of each remedy. Since every person has a unique physiology, certain acne scar treatments may work on several people and will make the acne scars disappear while worsening the symptoms on other people.
Common treatments for boxcar scars include punch excision or elevation, dermal fillers, and laser resurfacing.
Acne treatment creams are a safe way to treat acne scars. When used as directed, these products can make a big difference to the overall appearance of your skin. Whether you prefer a medicated product or an all natural one, there is always something out there for you.
