Acne scarring occurs due to inflammation from acne blemishes. The acne pores begin to swell and a breakdown begins to occur in the wall of the pore. Acne blemishes come in all shapes and sizes, some are small and the scars created are shallow and can heal quickly, while the interior of other blemishes spill into the surrounding tissues can cause much deeper scars that are not as easy to heal. Acne scars take on two main forms either by the scar which develops when there is a loss of tissue, resulting in an indentation on the surface of the skin, or the scar develops on top of raised surface of the skin.
