Also known as scars, cicatrix, scarring

A scar (or scar tissue) is an area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin following an injury. Scars result from the biological process of wound repair in the skin, as well as in other organs and tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a natural part of the healing process. With the exception of very minor lesions, every wound (for example, after an accident, disease, or surgery) results in some degree of scarring. An exception is animals with complete regeneration, which regrow tissue without scar formation. Scar tissue is composed of the same protein (collagen) as the tissue that it repl

AI overview

A scar is an area of fibrous tissue that forms when your body heals a wound from an injury, disease, or surgery. Scarring matters because it's a normal and unavoidable part of how your body repairs itself, though the scar tissue looks and feels different from your original skin.
