Scars happen from an
injury (an accident) and even from a disease. When there
is a wound in the body, it naturally tries to heal itself
(the skin forms new tissues in the affected area), and
scars are the signs of that attempt of healing. With
the process of scarring, the skin might have got back
the tissue, but this is not the same as it was before
the wound took place. The new tissue is usually inferior
in quality. Sweat glands and hair follicles do not work
on the scars, and that portion of the skin is also not
able to take in ultraviolet radiation.
Almost everyone has scars on the skin because it
is very difficult, almost impossible really, to lead
a life without suffering any injury. Scars are also
of various types like keloid scars, contracture scars,
hypertrophic scars, acne scars and atrophic scars.
Many people with visible scarring opt for scar
removal treatments to remove the blemish. Normally
scars do not create any problem, but when they appear
on the exposed portion of the skin, scars look ugly
and it is better to seek a treatment to at least diminish
them.
