Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Scars: A scar is a brown or pale pink patch of skin that marks the area where the skin has healed. Scars can form as a result of burns, wounds, scrapes, acne, amputations, or surgery. Scars are classed as keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, or contractures. Keloid scars are circular, thick, and irregular scars that form outside the boundaries of a wound. Hypertrophic scars are similar to keloid scars in appearance; however, they form within the wound's borders. Contractures are scars that emerge when a larger skin region is wounded and destroyed, such as after surgery.
