Atrophic scars occur deep inside the skin layers and will give impression as if there is a hole on the skin layer. This is called second degree scar because if any pimples or boils affects the skin initially the scar can be a dark spot or a mark but atrophic is the next stage which will cause minute pores which will give an untidy look to the skin surface. Since the atrophic scars occur due to a missing tissue it is not easy to replace them. Consulting your dermatologist will be the best option to fade this scar. At the initial stage the doctor will recommend a best scar cream which can induce the growth of tissues on the pores area with the help of silicone and other chemical constituents. If none of the scar cream works then you have to look for another method called Dermabrasion used by dermatologists to get rid of atrophic scars. During dermabrasion, the doctor will surgically scrape the scarred skin in order to remove irregularities and return the surface to a smoother appearance.
