Why Do Scars Appear?

Each of us may have been injured in life, whether it is a fall, surgery, or burn. Many times, although the wound slowly heals, it leaves a scar. This is very distressing, especially when it appears on the face or other conspicuous parts. So, why do scars appear?

How do scars come about?

Scars are actually a result of the body's "self-repair". When our skin is injured, the body will immediately start the repair mechanism and use new tissue to repair the wound.

But the problem is that this layer of new tissue is not the same as the original skin. It has no pores and sweat glands. It may feel a little hard and may have different shades of color. This is a scar.

Which wounds are prone to scarring?

Not all wounds will leave scars. Some minor abrasions may recover completely in a few days. However, the following situations are more likely to produce obvious scars:

Deep wounds (such as damaged dermis)

Infection or inflammation

Repeated friction and pulling of wounds

Frequent picking and peeling of scabs by oneself

Due to physical constitution, some people have scar-prone constitutions

Several types of scars

Ordinary scars: darker or lighter in color than the surrounding skin, slightly uneven.

Hypertrophic scars: scars become thicker and protrude from the surface of the skin, commonly seen on joints and chest.

Depressed scars: like acne pits, the skin sinks down.

Keloids (keloids): scars like "meat lumps" may grow larger and larger, and sometimes itch or hurt.

Can scars be removed?

Most scars will fade over time, but it is difficult to completely disappear. However, modern technology can make scars less obvious, such as:

Medical silicone patches or silicone gels (such as our Jiahewell products)

Laser treatment

Ointments and massage

Surgical repair (for severe scars)

How to prevent scars?

Keep the wound clean and avoid infection

Don’t pick at the scab

Avoid pulling during the wound recovery period

Use professional scar removal products in the early stage
