Types of Scars
There are several common types of scars, including:

- Keloid Scars: Larger, more prominent scars that extend beyond the original injury.
- Atrophic Scars: Sunken or depressed scars often caused by conditions like acne or chickenpox.
Causes of Scarring
Scars form as part of the body’s natural healing process. Common causes include:
- Acne: Severe or cystic acne often results in scars if left untreated.
- Injuries: Cuts, burns, or other skin trauma can lead to permanent scarring.
- Surgical Procedures: Scars may form as a result of incisions or stitches.
- Skin Conditions: Diseases like chickenpox can leave behind permanent marks.
