The scars are the fear of any patient, however, are an essential part of the natural and normal healing process of the body, as well as being the result of the skin repair from wounds caused by accidents, illnesses or surgeries.

At first, the scars are pink strong and noticeable, however with the over time in some cases, these are decreasing their color and accentuated.

For this reason, I will explain the three main types of scars:

1.Hypertrophic scars are those that occur over a lesion forming an exaggerated fabric, creating a fibrous tissue that produces the lift of the scar.

2.The Keloids are also known as scars of overgrowth. It is pink or purple and sometimes hyperpigmented. The contours are well marked, although irregular, since they exceed the initial margins of the wound.

3.Finally, atrophic scars are slightly sunken due to lack of collagen. In these cases, the scar tissue does not cover the entire damaged area, they are frequent after acne or chickenpox.

These problems must be treated early so their treatment can be effective.
