Understanding Scar Tissue

• Our body responds to an injury by repairing the
  damaged tissue. This repair leads to the creation
  of scar tissue. The scar tissue is different from
  skin tissue, as it is less elastic leading to
  tightness, limited movement, and pain for some
  people.
• Scar tissue develops as a part of the bodys
  natural response to damage. The scar tissue might
  develop as the body might heal a wound, such as
  a
•    Burn
•    Cut
•    Sore
•    Surgical incision
• The external scar tissue has a different
  structure in comparison to the skin. In the case
  of scar tissue, the collagen proteins grow in a
  single direction instead of the multidirectional
  pattern, as in the case of healthy skin. Due to
  this unidirectional growth, the scar tissue
  becomes less elastic, which may cause it to feel
  tight or restrict the range of movement.

inside the body. You may develop scar tissue
internally after undergoing surgery.Scar
Tissue and Pain

• You may feel pain due to scar tissue in several
  ways. Sometimes, the pain is due to skin
  tightness, which may make it more difficult to
  move freely.
• The scar tissue pain occurs due to nerve damage
  caused by the original injury. You might have
  long-term symptoms if the wound was deep and
  affected nerves or tendons, such as pain or
  numbness, in the affected area.
• You may experience scar tissue pain due to
  fibrosis that occurs when the body grows an
  excessive amount of scar tissue. You may have
  ongoing pain, inflammation, and loss of function
  of the tissue or joint due to fibrosis adhesion.
• Fibroblasts cells are formed during scar tissue
  growth and are responsible for fibrosis. You may
  have prolonged if the fibroblasts do not clear
  over time. Other symptoms such as itching,
  swelling, and tenderness or sensitivity may be
  associated with scar tissue.

Cause of Scar

• Scars develop as a part of the healing process.
  Our skin is the barrier to protect us from germs
  and other harmful substances in process of our
  immune responses. In case of skin injury, the
  body creates new tissue made of collagen to help
  reseal itself.
• Collagen helps in plumping up your skin as well
  as helping your cartilage protect your joints.
  The collagen fibers repair damaged skin and close
  any open areas in case of scars. The new tissue
  developed as the wound heals protects you from
  further infection.
• The scar tissue may be present in a variety of
  ways, such as
•    Keloid This is a raised, red-skin colored
  plaque of scar tissue. These can form on tissues
  after an injury. They usually appear on the upper
  chest, shoulders, and upper back.
•    Hypertrophic scar It is a more common form of
  scar tissue that may fade over time.
•    Contracture scars These usually occur in
  tissues after the burn injury that can impair the
  movement of the affected area.
