Hybrid hypertrophic scar treatment

Abstract

        A hypertrophic scar can develop as part of the skin's response to injury and is a reddish, itchy, firm, normally raised, thicker than usual form of scar that is similar in color and texture to normal skin.
        Hypertrophic scars may be inflamed or raised for months or even years, but over time they may become flatter and more inconspicuous. The skin is the lagers organ in the body and acts as a protective barrier. Scar tissues form as the skin heals after an injury caused by an accident or after surgery.
        The size of the scar can be determined by the size, depth, and location of the wound; the age of the person; hereditary factors and the characteristics of the skin, including its color (pigmentation). Scars cannot be completely removed. The degree of improvement will depend on variables such as the direction and size of the scar, the age of the person, the type and color of skin and hereditary factors, which may previously condition the extent of the healing process.
