| Get Rid of Acne Scars |
There are two types of acne scars: depressed and raised. Depressed acne scars are the ones that look like pits or depressions on your skin. This type of scar occurs when you lose fat or muscle under the skin. Depressed scars that give your skin a wavy texture are called rolling acne scars, and scars that look like sharp, narrow indents — that give the impression your face was punctured — are called ice pick acne scars. Raised acne scars, on the other hand, appear above the skin’s surface. This type of scar packs a double whammy — along with becoming larger over time, raised scars can also be itchy and painful.
