The formation of scars or scar tissue is a normal part of the healing process and occurs when the skin is cut due to injury or surgery. Scars are permanent. However, over time they may become less pink, faded and less noticeable. Occasionally, scars may be thick, irregularly raised and pink.
Common causes of scars include trauma, surgery and acne. Treatment is usually sought for scars that are unsightly, symptomatic (itching, pain) or causing distortion of the surrounding structures. Some individuals are more prone to lumpy keloid scars which commonly occur on the chest, shoulders, back, ears and in some women having had Caesarean section. Atrophic (depressed) scars are common following acne or trauma.
