Severe types of acne, such as cystic or nodular acne, are more likely to cause scarring because they involve deeper layers of the skin.

Statistics: Around 80% of people aged 11-30 experience acne, and of those with severe acne, up to 20% develop permanent scars.

Not treating acne early or properly allows inflammation to persist, increasing the chance of scarring.

Statistics: Studies show that early and consistent treatment reduces the risk of scarring by approximately 50%.

Inflammation triggers the skin's healing response, which can lead to either excessive collagen production (hypertrophic scars) or insufficient collagen (atrophic scars).

Statistics: Inflammatory acne is present in approximately 60-70% of acne cases, making it a primary risk factor for scarring.
