Is there a difference between blackheads and ance scars?

A blackhead occurs when the pore opens to the surface, and the sebum, which contains the skin pigment melanin, oxidizes and turns a brown/black color. It is not dirt and can not be washed away. It is not a scar in any way :-)Is there a difference between blackheads and ance scars?
Blackheads are caused by dirt and oil clogged in the pore. They dilate the pore opening and you can actually see a small black speck on the surface of the skin. Image: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/images/ency/fullsize/2087.jpg





Acne scars are caused by improper treatment of acne. They are small craters in the skin and can resemble chicken pox scars. (This picture's a little gross) Image: http://dermis.multimedica.de/bilder/CD036/550px/img0090.jpg
As far as I know, just about everyone has black heads. They are just so small that you can't see them. Get really REALLY close to the mirror and squeeze the little black pits at the end of your nose. Acne scars are just empty scars... like chicken pox scars.
