- Scar tissue is the formation of fibrosis connective tissue that is created to act as a protective barrier. It replaces healthy tissues that have been damaged due to a number of reasons. Scar tissue generally forms in muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and joints. It is also called an adhesion.s scar tissue is a form of healing, it will begin to develop during these stages. In fact, scar tissue will begin to form during the very first stage of healing, which is the acute stage. The acute stage is also called the inflammatory stage. This is when inflammation will occur, and this is not always bad.

Scars and Your Skin Scars form when the dermis (deep, thick layer of skin) is damaged. The body forms new collagen fibers (a naturally occurring protein in the body) to mend the damage, resulting in a scar. The new scar tissue will have a different texture and quality than the surrounding tissue. Scars form after a wound is completely healed. There are different kinds of scars. Most scars are flat and pale. However, in cases when the body produces too much collagen, scars can be raised. Raised scars are called hypertrophic scars or keloid scars.

- If a collateral ligament is injured and heals properly, the scar tissue that's formed within the ligament does not interfere with its free movement. However, if the injury doesn't heal well, scar tissue may form a matted scar within the ligament or between the ligament and the bone where it's not supposed to be attached. This scar tissue often acts like glue, adhering the ligament to the bone so that its free-sliding movement becomes more limited.

- A scar is made up of 'connective tissue', gristle-like fibers deposited in the skin by the fibroblasts to hold the wound closed. With keloids, the fibroblasts continue to multiply even after the wound is filled in. Thus keloids project above the surface of the skin and form large mounds of scar tissue. Keloids may form on any part of the body, although the upper chest, shoulders and upper back are especially prone to keloid formation. Symptoms include pigmentation of the skin, itchiness, redness, unusual sensations and pain.

- Sometimes the scar is hypertrophic, or thickened, but confined to the margin of the original wound. Hypertrophic scars tend to be redder and often regress spontaneously (a process which can take one year or more).reatment, such as injections of cortisone (steroids), can speed this process. Keloids, by contrast, may start sometime after a cutaneous injury and extend beyond the wound site. This tendency to migrate into surrounding areas that weren't injured originally distinguishes keloids from hypertrophic scars.

The Best Scar Treatments DON'T ignore a scar that becomes raised, itchy or red. It may be a sign of infection or an allergic reaction to the antibacterial cream or even the bandage. Injections of corticosteroids can reduce inflammation and break down excess scar tissue. Also, if you know that the scar isn't one you'll be able to live with (for instance, if it's on your face or particularly disfiguring), speak to your doctor early on about laser treatment. Lasering scars when they're fresh (six to eight weeks after an injury) can improve them tremendously.

Skin very sensitive to the touchJamieA76 Jan 21, 2008 I have been experiencing very strange skin sensitivity for the last 3 weeks or so. It all started with one little spot on my ribcage about the size of a softball. The skin felt very sensitive and had like a sunburned feel to it - it especially bothered me when my shirt would rub up against it a certain way.

After surgery- how long will a scar be sensitive? If the nerves were damaged, it can take many months before the nerves either heal or just stop sending pain signals. New scar tissue from wounds starts to reabsorb into the body after about 8 weeks, and the speed at which it does this is highly dependent on your genetics.

Scar Management Research shows that less severe burns that heal in less than 14 days generally have no scarring. More severe burns heal in 14 to 21 days and put you at a risk of scarring. Burns that take more than 21 days to heal are at very high risk for scarring and may require skin grafting. Why do scars form? Scarring is related to age, ethnicity, and the depth and location of the burn.
