NORMAL SCARS

There are three main scars firstly the normal scar this is formed when after an injury or cut is the process of healing. The appearance of which vary depending on the injury.If the skin at the edges of the wound has come together neatly, the scar will usually heal as a thin, pale line if the wound is wider,  where more surface skin is missing and more scar tissue is needed to bridge the gap between the edges of damaged skin (such as a bad graze on the knee), the scar may take longer to heal and not heal so neatly. Normal scars usually heal without much pain.

KELOID SCARS

A keloid scar is an overgrowth of tissue that occurs when too much collagen is produced at the site of the wound and the scar keeps growing, even after the wound has healed.

They often have the following characteristics:

• it is often raised above the skin
• it can feel itchy
• it can feel painful
• it can appear much larger than the original wound
• it can cause a burning sensation and feel tender to touch
• it can restrict movement if it is tight and near a joint
• it is raised above the skin
• it is hairless and appears shiny
• it feels hard and has a ‘rubbery’ texture, although some keloids can form soft lumps (such as on the ear lobe after piercings)
• a newly formed keloid scar is red or purple, becoming paler with time.

The areas of the body where keloid scars are more likely to form include:

• the area around the breastbone (sternum)
• the upper arms and shoulders (deltoids)
• the upper back
• on the ear lobes

HYPERTROPHIC SCARS

These types of scar are red in colour and raised along a wound area this can restrict movement because the tissue is not as flexible as the original skin it tends to heal with in the wound and the tissue is slightly thicker than usual. Having started red and raised it eventually becomes flatter and pale. This kind of scar can stay like this for many years in its appearance.Pitted scars are a form of scar that is a condition of acne or chickenpox usually sunken or pitted.Scar contractures scars of this nature are from burns often the scar shrinks leaving the skin feeling tight and restricted .

The treatment of scars vary depending on the type  or  its position and area of the body it may be on. In the case of the keloid scars injections called corticosteroid are administered to relieve pain and swelling this also flattens the scar   Sometimes treatment may continue for several months if the scar is improving.

This treatment cannot remove scars, but it can improve their appearance. Surgery  is not advised for keloids as they tend to grow back larger. Surgery for keloids is often combined with corticosteroid injections at the site of the removed scar immediately after the surgery.

Some plastic surgeons also add other treatments, such as X-ray therapy and oral antibiotics to try and minimise recurrence of a keloid that has been surgically treated. Make up is a great way to hide scars especially on the face some Cosmetic camouflage (make-up) can help cover up scars up to 2-3 days as they are waterproof. There are also systems and natural ways in which to control and help hide if not remove a scar if you Click Here! you will discover an alternative treatment for scars that might be useful.

Sometimes a combination of different treatments may be used

In some cases when a scar is unsightly or uncomfortable treatments may include:                          

•silicone gel sheets
•pressure dressings

•cosmetic camouflage (make-up)
•surgery

Using creams or ointments can greatly improve the appearance and in some cases remove a scar. This is one of many products that can help reduce the appearance another which is very popular is MEDERMA.
