Abstract

Scars may lead to an array of functional, cosmetic, and psychological consequences. Scar tissue is usually distinguished from normal skin by an aberrant color, increased thickness, irregular surface area, and poor functional quality, caused by loss of pliability and contraction or expansion of the surface area. All separate scar features are relevant and attribute to the quality and general opinion on a scar.
