What is a scar?

Scarring is a natural part of the healing process after an injury. Its appearance and its treatment depend on multiple factors. The depth and size of the wound or cut and the location of the injury matter. So do your age, genes, sex, and ethnicity.

What are the types of Scars and how to deal with them?

People seek help for scars if they are painful or itchy, if they are unpleasant, or if they restrict movement. Although scars cannot be removed completely, they can often be made less visible.  There are many scar reduction treatments available in the market ranging from over-the-counter or prescription ointments for topical application to scar reduction injections and corrective surgeries. But which is the best…depends upon the scar type and depth.

These are several different types of scars including:

●     Keloid scars: They result due to an overly aggressive healing process. They spread beyond the original injury and over the time it may hamper movement. Treatment options comprise of surgery to remove the scar, steroid injections, or silicone sheets to fill and flatten the scar. Keloids smaller in size can be eliminated using cryotherapy (freezing therapy using liquid nitrogen). Keloid formation can be prevented using pressure treatment or gel pads with silicone when one is injured. Keloid scars are most common among people with dark skin.

●     Contracture scars: These scars result due to burned skin. They tighten skin, which affects your ability to move. These scars may also go deeper, affecting muscles and nerves.

●     Hypertrophic scars: Similar to keloids, these are raised and red but do not spread beyond the boundary of the injury. Treatments include injections of steroids to reduce inflammation or silicone sheets, which flatten the scar.

●     Acne scars: If you've had severe acne, you probably have the scars to prove it. There are many types of acne scars, ranging from deep pits to scars that are angular or wavelike in appearance. Treatment options depend on the types of acne scars you have.
