👉 Aged pimples, also known as hypertrophic or cystic acne scars, are a common result of past breakouts that have not fully healed. These scars form when the skin's natural healing process is disrupted, often due to inflammation or infection during an acne episode. Over time, the skin may not fully regenerate, leading to raised, discolored areas that can appear as pimples or scars. These aged pimples can vary in color from brown to black and may leave a textured, uneven appearance on the skin. Unlike new acne, which is typically red and inflamed, aged pimples are usually flat or slightly raised and can persist for years, sometimes even decades, if left untreated.
