Back acne scars can be a bit more difficult to remove than facial acne scars because the the thicker skin on the back may mean that the acne scar tissue reaches further into the skin than facial acne scar tissue. Acne scar tissue can either be indicative of an overgrowth where keloids are formed because of collagen overgrowing the acne infection area. They will be typically darker than the the surrounding skin area that did not have acne. There is also a second type of scarring that is the result of tissue loss where the scar tissue forms an indentation in the skin or a pockmark like people who have had smallpox or measles. There are scars called atrophic macules. They are generally soft with tissue that has a creased look like regular scar tissue but is bluish in color because it shows up the underlying veins. Your dermatologist can advise you of the best back acne scar treatment depending on the type of scars you have.
