Scars are a vital part of the natural healing mechanism that occurs following the appearance of a wound to the thick layer of skin (the dermis) or the external layer of skin (the epidermis). This type of damage is healed by rebuilding the tissue, and in these instances, scarring is minor. When we damage the thick layer of tissue beneath the skin, rebuilding is more complicated. Our bodies accumulate collagen fibres (a protein which is organically produced by the body) and this usually results in skin tissues that are similar to the original but less functional tissues known as scars as they are different than normal skin.

After an injury has regenerated, scars continue to change as new collagen is formed and the blood vessels return to normal. This is the reason why most scars will disappear and improve in look over a period of two years following a wound has occured. However, there will always be some noticeable evidence of the injury, for example hair follicles and sweat glands do not grow back, so it seems we can never completely be rid of scars.

Now, it is good to remember that an injury does not become a scar until the skin has healed completely. Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis and injuries like small burns or sunburns are not scars because the skin is damaged or still being healed. However, these conditions could lead to small scars if scratched before the external layer of skin is healed.

Many people have some sort of scars and for most of them this does not cause any complication. However, this is not valid for all people.

Natural Scar Creams Benefit The Healing of Wounds

There are many scar healing creams, silicone gels and ointments, made of vitamins, herbal extracts, and natural ingredients that are made to improve the healing of scars, help in scar reduction and make scars less evident.

Not all scar creams are alike though. Healing of injuries is a complex process that entails an intricately and coordinated degree of organization that happens between the many cells, organs and products of the defensive system that do the wonderful job of keeping our natural, health-full integrity.

Fibrosis is an aberrant skin reaction to a wound and can be defined as the replacement of the normal structural elements of the tissue by aberrant, non-functional and exaggerated agglomeration of scar tissue. This is maybe the most significant natural marker for fibrosis. Many clinical problems are associated with excessive scar formation. For example, keloids and hypertrophic scars.
