Understanding Scars
What causes scars?
Scars form when the skin heals after an injury, surgery, or condition such as acne. Contributing factors include:
- Excess collagen production during healing (raised scars)
- Tissue damage leading to depression (atrophic scars)
- Burns causing tight, contracture scars
Are scars harmful?
Most scars are harmless, but they can cause cosmetic concerns or discomfort. In some cases, scars may impact movement or lead to irritation if left untreated.
