Scars

Scars are marks left on the skin or tissue after a wound has healed. They form as a part of the natural healing process and are composed of fibrous connective tissue, often appearing different in texture or color from the surrounding skin. Scars can vary in size and shape and may be raised, depressed, or flat. They can result from various types of injuries, including cuts, burns, surgery, or acne. While scars are often permanent, their appearance may fade over time or be altered through treatments such as laser therapy, surgery, or topical applications. Scars can also vary in their emotional impact on individuals, as they may serve as reminders of physical trauma or changes in one’s life.
