So I know inflammation from acne can cause scarring.
Can PIH cause scarring?
How can you tell the difference between inflammation and PIH?
I know this might seem weird but I am wondering whether the red marks that I have (acne has cleared but its still red) could scar.
Does anyone know much about inflammation and what type causing dented scarring?
Well PIH is hyper pigmentation after the inflammation subsides. Usually natural inflammation (not caused by you picking or irritating your acne) does not cause scarring if you are treating your acne and get it under control. Inflammation caused by picking is normally what causes scarring.
