How scars are formed

Scars are formed when the dermis is cut or injured.The dermis is a deep layer of sensitive skin and when this is damaged the body produces collagen fibres which repair the wound. When the wound is healed a scar is formed. Sometimes the body can produce too much collagen and the scars can become raised,these are called keloid and Hypertrophic scars. These scars are more common in children and dark skinned people. Acne and chicken pox can also cause small scars but most can easily be hidden with make up. Although scars form when the body is repairing itself the skin quality is not as good as unscarred skin. It can no longer produce hair follicles or sweat glands.
