Hi,
Scarring cannot occur prior to any injury.Scars are areas of fibrousFibrous dysplasia tissue that replace normalNormal saline flush skin (or other tissue) after injury. A scar results from the biologic process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a natural part of the healing process.
In a person with this tendency even a minor injury can lead to keloid formation.
Keloid scars are a more serious form of scarring, because they can carry on growing indefinitely into a large, tumorous (although benign) growth.
Keloids consist of hard, raised scars that may be slightly pink or whitish. These may itch and be painful, and some keloids can grow to be quite large.
