Scars form when the skin repairs itself after an injury, such as a cut, burn, surgery, or acne. During the healing process, the body produces collagen to repair the damaged skin. This can result in a thickening or discoloration of the skin, which creates a scar.
Types of scars
There are different types of scars, depending on the cause and healing process:
- Atrophic scars: Thin, sunken scars, often caused by acne or chickenpox.
- Hypertrophic scars: Thickened, red scars that remain within the wound borders.
- Keloids: Thickened, bumpy scars that grow beyond the original wound.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Dark spots after skin damage, especially in dark skin.
