It is important to differentiate between the two in order to choose the correct treatment.

▪️Acne Marks:
Marks are either red or dark brown in colour. There is no change in texture of skin or depression.
These can be treated with creams containing skin lightening agents such as azleaic acid, kojic acid, alpha arbutin and niacinamide.

▪️Acne scars
When there is loss of skin markings or change in skin texture then it can be a scar. Though tretinoin can help, lasers or microneedling RF gives good results.
Remember that once scar is formed it can never go back to normal skin. We can make scar less visible but it can never look like normal skin. So it’s very important to prevent acne reunions especially if you are prone to develop acne scars.
