1. Acne Scars - A Nightmare For Many
Acne is a very common skin disorder which has become problem for all ages. The teen
years can be tough and sometimes even after passing those adolescent years acne may not

another milestone of the scars left behind due to acne. Acne may leave you at some point
or other but the scars become very visible and your face is the one which gets most
affected.
There are different types of acne scars which causes severe damage to your skin

deep. These can sometimes be hard or soft to touch. The soft scars can be worked upon
by stretching and the same cannot be done to the hard ice-pick scars.

edges and steep sides. The metamorphosis of ice-pick scars leads to depressed fibrotic
scars with the passage of time.

They are small, circular and very linear in shape.
Atrophic macules are small but when it happens to surfaces the face it becomes very big.
Over a period of time they may turn blue and dry out to be less conspicuous.

similar to whiteheads which can be seen slightly raised above the surface.
