What causes scarred skin?

Scar skin mainly refers to the self-repair of the skin itself in response to skin trauma. At this time, a certain amount of scar tissue will be formed. For more serious scars, the self-repair of the skin cannot completely eliminate them. For example, deeper wounds, larger wounds, etc., hypertrophic scars and keloids are likely to form at this time, and they should be treated in time.

What causes scarred skin?

No matter how deep the wound is or how large the trauma is, it can eventually repair itself and return to its original skin without forming scars or only leaving inconspicuous marks. Some people will be left with ugly scars as long as they have wounds. Some will be left with keloids, which look like red worms crawling on the skin, and some will even be left with big lumps of flesh. Generally, people will form scars when they get wounded. Some scars are pigmented, some are shiny, some are white like white spots, some are black like black spots, some are uneven, some are hard, some are soft, and some scars can deform facial features. There are many reasons for scars on the skin, including sores, pits left by chickenpox, burns, scalds, electric burns, falls, knife wounds, car accidents, scars left by surgery, skin grafting, laser surgery, liquid nitrogen surgery, dermabrasion, scratches, allergies, and many more. Although the reasons are different, the damage to the skin is ultimately the same, that is, scarred skin.
