About the symptom

Post-inflammatory scarring is the scar that is formed after the skin is injured or irritated resulting in inflammation.

Possible causes

  • Acne vulgaris(acne)

    Also known as pimples, acne results from a blocked swollen pore. Causes include changes in hormone levels (e.g. puberty), medications, and direct pressure on the skin.

  • Milia

    Milia are small white bumps that often appear on the skin. They occur when dead skin cells don't shed, become trapped under new skin, and harden. Milia can develop at any age but are most common in newborns, usually appearing on a baby's nose, chin, or cheeks. In older individuals, they mainly occur on the face but can appear anywhere.

  • Chronic pyoderma

    Chronic pyoderma is a rare, long-lasting, and often recurring skin condition. Bumps or blisters (anywhere on the skin but most frequently on the legs) merge to form potentially large ulcers or open sores. The cause is unclear but is thought to be related to an immune system problem. Adults with immune system disorders, certain cancers, or recent skin injuries are at a higher risk of developing this condition.

  • Pemphigoid group
  • Pyoderma Gangrenosum
  • Congenital bullous disease
