WHAT ARE HYPERTROPHIC SCARS?

• Hypertrophic scars are raised bumps made up of
  collagen masses that accumulate around skin at
  the site of injury, impact or physical trauma.
  They often appear as hardened, rope-like
  protrusions, with knotty surfaces and visible
  skin discoloration.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KELOID AND
HYPERTROPHIC SCARS?

• Hypertrophic and keloid scars are similar and it
  can be confusing to distinguish between them.
  Although they both are composed of excessive
  collagen masses, they behave differently. For
  example, a hypertrophic scar forms quickly
  following an injury, whereas a keloid may not
  start forming for up to a year after the original
  injury. There are also variations in the
  structure of the mass of tissue in the two types
  of scar formations. While collagen fibers in
  keloid scars actively spread into nearby healthy
  tissue, hypertrophic scar tissue remains confined
  to the site within the boundary of the original
  injury and the surrounding healthy tissue is not
  affected.
