👉 Archived pimples, also known as cystic acne scars, are a type of scarring acne that forms when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pus-filled cysts beneath the skin. Over time, these cysts can leave behind raised, discolored scars that vary in color from pink and red to brown and even black. The skin around these scars may also appear thickened, dimpled, or uneven, often resulting in a textured appearance. Unlike other types of scars, cystic acne scars can be more challenging to treat, but various dermatological interventions such as chemical peels, laser therapy, and surgical procedures can help minimize their appearance and improve skin texture.
