Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars


A hypertrophic scar is a thick, raised scar. It is an abnormal wound healing response in which extra connective tissue forms within the original wound area. As a result, there is a raised scar a small wound to the top layer of your skin usually heals well. As the wound heals, new skin develops. When you have deeper wounds into the dermis layer and lower your body responds by producing collagen to repair the wound. Collagen is thicker than the rest of your skin. This thicker, less flexible tissue develops into a scar. Most scars are flat. However, your body can produce excessive collagen, resulting in a raised scar. This type of raised scar can be either hypertrophic or keloid
