Scar dressings are commonly used in managing burn and hypertrophic scars, although supporting evidence is lacking. Care providers commonly report improvements, however, and pressure therapy has been effective in treating ear keloids. The general acceptance of the treatment as effective may prevent it from being further studied in clinical trials. A long-term course of corticosteroid injections into the scar may help flatten and soften the appearance of keloid or hypertrophic scars. Topical steroids are ineffective. However, clobetasol propionate can be used as an alternative treatment for keloid scars. Scar revision is a process of cutting the scar tissue out. After the
Scar the surrounding unwounded tissue. This prolonged collagen-producing process results in a fortuna scar. The scarring is created by fibroblast proliferation, a process that begins with a reaction to the clot. To mend the damage, fibroblasts slowly form the collagen scar. The fibroblast proliferation is circular and cyclically, the fibroblast proliferation lays down thick, whitish collagen inside the provisional and collagen matrix, resulting in the abundant production of packed collagen on the fibers giving scars their uneven texture. Over time, the fibroblasts continue to crawl around the matrix, adjusting more fibers and, in the process, the scarring settles and becomes stiff.
