<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe most unpleasant part of getting acne is its after-effects, which are acne scars. If you are searching for some home remedies to get rid of acne scars, this blog is for you! Acne scars are very common, and you should not be ashamed of them. However, acne scars are not permanent. There are certain treatments available. Some treatments almost completely remove the scars, while others assist the skin in healing itself with its collagen. Around 80% of the population between the ages of 11 and 30 years will have acne, and one in every five will have scarring. Acne scars can affect your self-esteem, cause psychological distress, and interfere with your social life ^{1<\/sup><\/a>. However, you can try some of these home remedies to get rid of acne scars.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}

<\/span>What Causes Acne Scars?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The causes of acne include:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Bacteria\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Dead skin\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Oils in the skin\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Clogged pores over the skin\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Genetic predisposition to acne ^{1<\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nAcne forms when bacteria, dead skin, and oils clog the skin pores, which leads to inflammation (swelling). Acne can appear more on the skin areas with sebaceous (oil) glands, mainly on the face, chest, and back.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Acne scars are formed due to the inflammation of acne. Some scars are superficial, while others are deep. Superficial scars are shallow and can heal quickly. Acne swells and then breaks, and the contents leak into the surrounding tissue, causing deeper scars. The skin heals the scar by generating new collagen (a type of protein) fibers ^{1<\/sup><\/a>.^{<\/sup>Scar occurs when the body tries to fix and cure acne}}^{1<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
<\/span>Symptoms of Acne Scars<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Acne causes visible symptoms like depressed (also called atrophic) or raised (also called hypertrophic) scars that appear on your skin in the following way:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The depressed\/ atrophic scars usually appear on the face, like an ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scar ^{1<\/sup><\/a>^,<\/sup>}^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
\n
Ice pick scars are most commonly found on the upper cheeks and forehead, where the skin is thin. They are wider at the top and narrow as they go deeper into the skin ^{1<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Rolling scars are most common on the jaw and lower cheeks, where the skin is thick. Rolling scars have sloping edges, giving the skin a wavy and uneven appearance ^{1<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Boxing scars are most common on the jaw and lower cheeks. These have sharper edges and penetrate deeper into the skin ^{1<\/sup><\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>}
