Some common causes include:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Severe inflammatory acne, especially cystic acne:<\/strong> When inflammation penetrates deep into the dermis, the skin tissue is severely damaged. If the healing process is incomplete, the lost tissue will form a deep, pointed depression.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Incorrect acne squeezing habits:<\/strong> Squeezing acne with hands, unsterilized tools, or squeezing while the acne is still inflamed causes deeper damage to the acne root, &#8220;tearing&#8221; the skin tissue and leaving ice pick scars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Prolonged skin inflammation or infection:<\/strong> Deep skin inflammation that is not treated promptly will destroy the skin structure, increasing the risk of ice pick scars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Poor skin recovery, collagen deficiency:<\/strong> Some people have weak skin, poor regeneration ability, or a deficiency of natural collagen. When acne is inflamed, the skin is unable to adequately fill in the lost tissue, leading to the formation of deep scars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Incorrect skincare during the damaged skin phase:<\/strong> Using overly harsh products, excessive exfoliation, scrubbing the inflamed acne area\u2026 also causes deeper skin damage and leads to pitted scars.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6208\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6208\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6208\" src=\"https:\/\/hbioclinic.com.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/nguyen-nhan-chinh-gay-ra-seo-day-nhon.jpg\" alt=\"Nguy\u00ean nh\u00e2n ch\u00ednh g\u00e2y ra s\u1eb9o \u0111\u00e1y nh\u1ecdn\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6208\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The main causes of pitted scars<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_popular_methods_for_treating_keloid_scars_recommended_by_dermatologists\"><\/span><strong>5 popular methods for treating keloid scars recommended by dermatologists<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When researching how to treat keloid scars, most doctors assert that there is no single method that &#8220;cures 100% in one go,&#8221; but rather a combination of different techniques is usually required to break down the scar tissue, stimulate collagen production, and regenerate the skin. Below are 5 of the most effective keloid scar treatments currently available, along with their advantages, disadvantages, and costs.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chemical_Peels\"><\/span><b><i>Chemical Peels<\/i><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chemical peels use organic acids such as AHA, BHA, or TCA to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. When the old keratin layer is removed, the regeneration of new skin is stimulated, helping to reduce dark spots, improve the appearance of mild acne scars, and make the skin brighter and smoother. This is a minimally invasive method, suitable for those with newly appearing pitted scars or mild to moderate acne scars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, to achieve noticeable results, patients need to adhere to a multi-session treatment plan and combine it with proper skincare. In addition, chemical peels help the skin absorb nutrients better, optimizing the skin&#8217;s recovery process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Advantages: Minimally invasive, reasonable cost, safe for sensitive skin.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Disadvantages: Slow results for deep scars, requires multiple treatment sessions.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Estimated cost: 500,000 \u2013 1,500,000 VND\/session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6209\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6209\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6209\" src=\"https:\/\/hbioclinic.com.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/peel-da-hoa-hoc-chemical-peels.jpg\" alt=\"Peel da h\u00f3a h\u1ecdc (Chemical Peels)\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6209\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Chemical Peels<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Microneedling_and_dermarolling_%E2%80%93_Stimulating_skin_regeneration\"><\/span><b><i>2.

This method is suitable for medium to deep pitted scars, resulting in smoother skin after a few treatments. However, microneedling may cause mild redness and swelling for a few days, requiring careful post-treatment care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dermaroller:<\/strong> Smaller needles only affect the epidermis, making it less invasive than microneedling, suitable for mild to moderate pitted scars. Dermaroller allows the skin to absorb nutrients better, promoting regeneration with virtually no pain.
