A hypertrophic scar is a thick, raised area that forms when your skin produces too much collagen after an injury, surgery, or burn.
Injuries, surgeries, burns, or severe acne can trigger hypertrophic scars, especially in people with darker skin tones
Topical silicone gels, steroid injections, or laser treatments help flatten scars and improve skin appearance.
Early scar care prevents thickening, reduces redness, and helps skin heal smoother and faster.
Consistent wound care and pressure garments help reduce tension and prevent new hypertrophic scars from forming.
