Every time the skin or tissue is cut or damaged it will heal by forming a scar. Various factors influence how your skin scars including the depth and size of the wound or incision, the location of the injury, skin type, age, heredity, sex and ethnicity. These factors will all affect how your skin reacts.

What are the different types of scars?

These are several different types of scars including:

Keloid scars : These scars are the result of an overly aggressive healing process. These scars extend beyond the original injury and over time, a keloid scar may affect mobility. Possible treatments include surgical removal or injections with steroids. Smaller keloids can be treated using cryotherapy (freezing therapy using liquid nitrogen). You can also prevent keloid formation by using pressure treatment or gel pads with silicone when you sustain an injury. Keloid scars most often occur in people of black ethnicity.

Hypertrophic scars : Raised and red scars that are similar to keloids, but do not breach the boundaries of the injury site. Possible treatments can include injections of steroids to reduce inflammation.

Contracture scars : If your skin has been burned, you may have a contracture scar which causes tightening of the skin that can impair your ability to move; additionally, this type of scar may go deeper to affect muscles and nerves.

Acne scars : If you have suffered with severe acne, you probably have the scars to prove it. There are many types of acne scars, ranging from deep pits to scars that are angular or wavelike in appearance. Possible treatments, include: Dermaoller, chemical peel, dermal filler injections and laser.

Stretch marks : This is a type of scar that occurs when the skin is stretched rapidly (eg during a teenage growth spurt or pregnancy). Possible treatment includes the dermaroller and chemical peel.
