Scar conditions and fibrosis of skin - what does this mean
Scar conditions and fibrosis of skin occur when the skin is damaged due to injury, burns, or surgery, and the body's natural healing process produces more collagen than needed to repair the area. this excess collagen can cause the skin to become thicker and more fibrous, resulting in scarring and fibrosis of the skin.
What happens during the disease - scar conditions and fibrosis of skin
Scar conditions and fibrosis of skin is caused by an overproduction of collagen in the skin, which is a result of the body's natural healing process after an injury. this overproduction of collagen leads to the formation of thickened, fibrous tissue that can cause itching, burning, and pain. the scarring can be caused by a variety of factors such as burns, cuts, and acne. additionally, certain medications, hormones, and genetic factors can also contribute to the development of scarring and fibrosis of the skin.
