Acne affects everyone, and it doesn’t always go away after puberty either. In more extreme cases, acne spots may cause scarring when the damaged skin attempts to repair itself.
So, it’s important to consult a dermatologist if these acne scars are prevalent, and happen to affect your self-esteem.
Luckily, there are also plenty of health centers dedicated to acne scar treatment in Malaysia, and we’ve compiled some of the best in our list below.
Types of Acne Scars
The 3 general types of acne scars are:
- Pseudo-scars – red marks left behind by inflammatory acne
- Depressed scars – from tiny holes on the skin due to skin damage
- Hypertrophic scars – from lumps over the surface of acne
Different types of treatments work effectively against different types of acne scars.
While you can try self-treatments with scar removal creams (which you can find on our best scar removal creams article):
A proper consultation can help you determine which is the best method for your acne scars. And ensure that you get the correct treatment for them!
