Scarring


Question Posted Monday February 26 2007, 9:30 pm

Okay, so when you get cuts you get scarring. Not those bumpy ones but like a darker skin color in the place of the cut [does that make sense?] Like there won't be a cut but in place of it, the skin color there is darker. But anywhos, I was wondering why that happens and if it will ever go away.

Hey. Well it really depends on the severity of the cut. For example if it's a really big cut or a deep one it will be more likely to leave a scar. This happens because as the skin is closing up the skin is still raw so as it "heals" it becomes darker and turns into a scar. Scars act as an inferior quality to the tissue that it's replacing. They form when the cut is completely healed and often have a different texture then the original tissue. There are ways to prevent the scar from becoming very dark such as using vitamin E, cocoa butter cream, and several skin products available over the counter. Also, as years go by the scars will start to become lighter. For more information this website gives a great overview of scars [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) I really hope this helped! =)

It depends on what kind of cut. For example, a paper cut won't neccessary leave a scar behind. It'll heal in a couple of days. But if you get a deep cut with a knife, that's different. The cut will definitely bleed and after a few days a scab will form or the skin will start to close up. If it is bad enough, it'll leave behind a scar.

If you pick at scabs, it will also lead to scars. Minor cuts will go away. More severe ones will heal but it will leave behind scars.
