Uncovering the five main types of scars

When the skin recovers from an injury, excess collagen is produced, resulting in skin scars. This is related to genetics. Some people are born with a scar-prone constitution, and no matter how careful they are, they cannot prevent the formation of scars unless they avoid getting injured. If you want to recover, you have to choose scar removal surgery.

5 major types of scars

1. Good scars: refers to linear and flat scars that are parallel to skin wrinkles and have the same color as normal skin color.

2. Tattoo scars: The reason is that sand and other foreign objects have seeped into the wound and have not been cleaned up. The treatment method for this type of wound is different from that for general scars. The shallow layer can be removed with laser, while the deep layer requires combined excision surgery.

3. Keloid pedis: Because the shape of the scar is like the limbs of a crab and it is brown in color, the scar will invade the surrounding normal skin. This is because the fibroblasts inside are constantly dividing and will expand like a tumor. The most common areas of occurrence are the shoulders and chest.

4. General scars: The scars are slightly raised and the color is slightly darker than normal skin color.

5. Hypertrophic scars: refers to raised scars that are darker in color and feel itchy and painful, but the degree of the raise will not exceed the range of the wound and will flatten after a period of time.

Scar treatment must be done with proper methods. Patients are advised to consult with a regular plastic surgery hospital. The doctor will develop a scar treatment method based on your scar condition. May beauty be with you!
