Post acne marks, or macules, are commonly referred to as âacne scars.. Real acne scars, however, are the indentations or protrusions left behind by acne. Here is a picture of my left cheek that shows the difference between acne scars and acne marks (as well as my large pores): Acne scars vs. Acne marks. As you can see, my acne scars are colorless but indented, and my acne marks are dark but flat.
Both of these kinds of scars are more common in younger and dark-skinned people. Some scars can have a sunken or pitted appearance. This kind of scarring occurs when underlying structures supporting the skin (for example, fat or muscle) are lost. Some surgical scars have this appearance, as do some scars from acne. Scars also can appear as stretched skin. Such scars result when the skin stretches rapidly (for example, as in growth spurts or during pregnancy). In addition, this type of scar can occur when the skin is under tension (near a joint, for example) during the healing process.
