How can I differentiate between acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)?

Acne scars are indentations or raised areas on the skin's surface, whereas PIH is flat, dark spots that occur after pimples subside and fade over time. Try a simple touch test. If you feel a texture change, itโ€™s likely a scar. Consult a dermatologist who will use dermoscan or light-based tools for an accurate diagnosis.
