What Is It?
Scars are areas of thickened or discolored skin that form as a natural part of the body’s healing process after an injury, surgery, or condition like acne. They vary in appearance, ranging from flat and smooth to raised or indented, depending on the cause and individual healing factors. Scars can be a cosmetic concern, particularly if they are large or in visible areas, and may also restrict movement if they’re on joints. Treatments are available to improve scar texture and appearance, helping people feel more comfortable with their skin. Managing scars early can often lead to better long-term outcomes.
