Scars form as a natural part of the healing process when the skin repairs itself after injury, surgery, or inflammation.The severity and appearance of a scar can depend on factors such as the wound's depth, size, and location, as well as the individual's age, genetics, and skin type. Some of the common causes of scars include:
Injury to the Skin
Cuts, scrapes, or wounds from accidents or surgery.
Surgical Procedures
Incisions made during surgeries can leave scars as they heal.
Burns
Thermal, chemical, or radiation burns often result in scar tissue.
Severe Acne
Deep or cystic acne can cause scarring on the skin.
Infections
Skin infections like chicken pox, boils, or fungal infections can lead to scars.
Inflammatory Conditions
Conditions like eczema or psoriasis can cause scars from prolonged inflammation and scratching.
Skin Conditions
Chronic conditions like keloids or hypertrophic scars, where excessive collagen leads to raised scars.
