Scars
During the healing process after surgery or an accident, irregularities in skin regeneration are not uncommon. A scar may become raised, known as a hypertrophic scar, and can appear pink or dark brown depending on skin type. The darker the skin, the higher the risk. Such scars are often firm and fibrous. Aesthetic medical treatments can help reduce their appearance.
