After one has suffered from acne the scars on the surface of the skin tend to cause an indentation which is referred to as physical acne scars or "icepick" scars.
Pigmented scars is a slightly misleading term, suggesting a change in the skin's pigmentation, however this is not the case. Pigmented scars are usually the result of nodular or cystic acne (the painful 'bumps' lying under the skin), and often will leave behind an inflamed red mark.

When sufferers try to 'pop' cysts or nodules, pigmentation scarring becomes significantly worse, and may even bruise the affected area. Pigmentation scars will often fade over time.
