Post-Traumatic Scars
摘要
Persons of any age or ethnicity can develop scarring as a result of trauma. Scars caused by atrophic scarring are lower and thinner than the surrounding skin. Even though they are thicker and raised above the skin, hypertrophic scars remain within the initial injury’s boundaries. Scars that are keloid are raised and extend beyond the borders of the initial damage. Traumatic scars can negatively impact the physical, psychological, and social well-being of patients. Scar tightening, also known as contractures, frequently occurs over joints and can restrict normal movement and the capacity to participate in activities of daily living that are considered normal. How people perceive themselves and how others perceive them can be impacted by disfigurement, which may even result in those individuals experiencing emotions of depression or worry. There is a high probability that traumatic scars will result in discomfort, itching, and other unpleasant feelings. Keloids and hypertrophic scars have been known as atypical responses to trauma for ages. Keloids are an abnormal scarring condition. However, the finding of a histopathologic distinction between these two entities is relatively new, despite the fact that morphologic differences between them have been recognized for many years.
