Uneven texture, pitted marks, or skin that never quite looks smooth can be a constant reminder of something you thought you had moved past. For many people, acne scarring affects far more than appearance. It can shape how confident you feel day to day, in ways that those who have never experienced it may not fully understand.","9551510c-7e7c-4050-86b6-7d7743d053b7":"ebd5cb","fb812f21-7614-47e0-b55a-8ed5607b5f4b":false,"c38db626-85ba-4201-9240-e8c2b19beb5e":"<h2>\n    <span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(203,34%,27%);\"><i>What Is Acne Scarring?</i></span>\n</h2>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    <span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#333333;\">Acne scarring is a long-lasting change in skin texture that can develop after inflammatory acne has healed. When acne affects the deeper layers of the skin, it can disrupt the normal collagen support structure. As the skin repairs itself, this healing process does not always occur in a balanced way. </span>\n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    <span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#333333;\">If too little collagen is produced during healing, indented or pitted scars can form (atrophic scars). In other cases, the skin mounts an overactive repair response and produces excess collagen, leading to raised scars (hypertrophic scars). In both situations, the result is uneven skin texture that can remain long after active acne has settled.\n  </span>\n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    <span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#333333;\">Acne scars are different from the temporary marks that often follow a breakout. Flat red or brown marks, known as post-inflammatory erythema or hyperpigmentation, are colour changes rather than true scars and often fade gradually with time and appropriate skincare. True acne scars involve a structural change within the skin and usually require targeted treatment to significantly improve texture. </span>\n</p>","7509c6f1-b682-433b-9708-0d83e83f3a1f":[6963]}
