When a person sustains an injury, the body repairs the injured tissue by forming scar tissue.
Scar tissue is a layer of cells and collagen that forms over an injured site. Scar tissue on the skin can develop as a result of an injury, surgery, or acne. Scar tissue can form in other parts of the body, such as the heart muscle after a heart attack.
Scar tissue can appear in a number of different ways, including:
A keloid is a raised, red-skin-colored scar tissue plaque that can develop on tissues following an injury. Keloids are most commonly found on the upper chest, shoulders, and upper back.
A hypertrophic scar is a type of scar tissue that is more prevalent. Hypertrophic scars may disappear over time for those who have them.
