Understanding Acne Scar 
Formation
Acne scars form as a result of tissue damage beneath the skin caused by 
inflammatory acne. When acne lesions penetrate deeply, they disrupt the 
skin's structure, prompting the body to repair the damage by producing 
collagen. An imbalance in collagen production, whether too little or too 
much, leads to the formation of different types of scars. The severity and 
appearance of acne scars are influenced by the depth of the original skin 
damage and the body's healing response.
