Scars are as varied in appearance as the different experiences which give them to us.
Some are pale and light in color, while others appear much darker than the surrounding skin. Trauma, acne, and past surgeries are all things which can cause noticeable scars.
Two of the most commonly recognizable types of scars are:
Atrophic Scarring: Occurs when damage causes excess inflammation and/or damage to the muscle and fat deeper within the skin. It looks like missing, depressed, pock-marked, or sunken skin.
