PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In time, some collagen breaks down at the site of the wound and the blood supply reduces. The scar gradually becomes smoother and softer. Although scars are permanent, they can fade over a period of up to 2 years. It’s unlikely they’ll fade any more after this time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scar Remodeling This process starts around 3 weeks after injury and peaks around 3-6 months, and can cause a scar that was initially subtle to appear darker, thicker, and shortened. Eventually, as reorganization is completed, the scar tissue softens and fades in color as the excess blood vessels in the scar disappear.

Detailed explanation-3: -In some cases, extra scar tissue grows, forming smooth, hard growths called keloids. Keloids can be much larger than the original wound. They’re most commonly found on the chest, shoulders, earlobes, and cheeks. However, keloids can affect any part of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Remodelling is a process that occurs when stretching and pulling forces interact with the scar tissue. They help collagen to regain normal allignement that is needed to tolerate forces that are placed on the body during our everyday and sport activities.
