SCAR FACTS
Scars are areas of fibrous tissue that replace normal skin after injury. When skin is injured, your body produces a strong connective tissue called collagen to mend (heal) the injured skin. Ideally, a fine, flat, light scar will result, however, due to overproduction of collagen during the healing process, some scars become raised, thickened, and discolored.
Hypertrophic scars are raised, thickened, discolored scars that are typically stiffer than the surrounding skin. Hypertrophic scars remain within the boundaries of the original injury and are often tender, itchy, and even painful.
Keloids are Hypertrophic scars, that in addition to being raised, red and thickened, also extend beyond the original injury site, involving the surrounding skin. Keloids may continue to grow to become quite large, causing pain and discomfort. Although keloids may form on any part of the body, some areas, such as the chest, back, shoulders and earlobes, are more prone to keloid formation. The tendency to form keloids may also be hereditary.
