Scars and Stripes - Scarring in Acne
In teenagers, as well as adults, severe acne can lead to atrophic, or pit-like, scars in the affected area.
This can be the source of a huge inferiority complex and leads to depression in many people.
This section describes:
- How to define scarring
- The various types of scars that result from the different kinds of acne … and
- Are they treatable?
Definition
The human body is tuned to respond to any foreign body or abnormal change, whether in it or outside, in
a similar way to how an animal would attack an intruder encroaching upon its territory. The body
automatically acts to ‘normalize’, or heal the change that took place in it.
For example, if the body receives an external injury, it immediately initiates production of clotting to heal
the wound. The body instigates a similar healing process when scarring occurs.
In biological terms, ‘scarring’ is the fibrous process that initiates production of collagen to heal the acne-
induced changes in the body.
People suffering from either moderate or severe forms of acne vulgaris (e.g. acne fulminans, acne
conglobata) are particularly prone to scarring or pigmentation. Hence, it is advisable for patients suffering
from severe acne to seek immediate treatment that will reduce their chances of developing deep, or
untreatable, scars.
Types of Scars
I. Color changes due to inflammatory lesions
The healing of inflammatory acne lesions can lead to the emergence of patches of pigmentation in the
affected area. These changes in skin color are temporary and curable. With the right treatment, the
patches disappear after a few months and do not recur.
The color changes are classified into three types:
(1) Post- inflammatory pigmentation: Results in brown pigmentation
(2) Post- inflammatory hypopigmentation: White marks appear on the skin
(3) Post- inflammatory erythema: Purple, or pink, patches are seen.
Treatment for post- inflammatory pigmentation
Treatment options for post-inflammatory pigmentation include:
Chemical peel-offs: These are face packs with glycolic acid or Jessner’s solution added to them.
Azelaic acid cream: This cream, also prescribed for treating moderate acne, is successful in
treating pigmentation.
Protection from the sun: Brown marks darken under moderate to excessive exposure to the sun.
Always apply an oil-free sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more before going out of the house.
II. Physical disfigurations in the form of pits or lumps
Severe acne causes three kinds of scarring. These are -
1. Ice Pick scars: Appear as a series of small pits.
2. Hypertrophic/ Keloid scars: Extremely thick, lumpy scars that protrude from the skin.
3. Atrophic scars: In contrast to keloid scars, atrophic scars are thin, flat scars.
Treatment Options
There are various treatment options for each type of acne scar. Most acne scars heal completely with the
right treatment, though it may take many months for this to occur. However, in a few cases, the acne scar
recurs, even after being successfully treated.
Here are the different ways in which the three kinds of acne scars can be treated.
1. Ice pick scars can be treated by:
1 Dermabrasion
2 Cutting out larger scars
3 Laser resurfacing
2. Atrophic scars:
1 Dermabrasion
2 Increasing the soft tissue through fat or collagen implants
3. Hypertrophic, or keloid scars, are the most difficult of the three to treat successfully. Despite
apparently effective treatment, the acne scars are liable to recur within a short time.
Treatments that can be used are -
1 Dressing of acne scars with silicone gel
2 Application of strong topical steroids
3 Steroidal injections in the lesions
4 Cryotherapy (Cold therapy)
5 Surgery
