Scar
Definitions
Description
A growth of tissue marking the spot where skin has healed after an injury.
Self-care
To help prevent scars from forming, keep pressure on wounds with silicone gel pads. This helps ease any itchiness too.
When to make a doctor's appointment
See a healthcare professional if the scar is bothersome.
