Hypertrophic Scar and Keloid - A Wound Complications

Dr. Rai Trisha | Dr. Nita Kedar ^[2]

Abstract: Hypertrophic scars and keloids are types of scars resulting from an injury to the skin. Hypertrophic scars are limited to the site of injury and may regress over time, while keloids spread beyond the border of injury and do not regress over time. Hypertrophic scar and keloid are complication of wound healing. Hypertrophic scars have collagen in a wavy, regular pattern, whereas keloids have no distinct pattern of collagen. Hypertrophic scar should resolve over time with or without treatment. Keloids may remain on your body long term despite efforts to reduce them. In Ayurveda, Vrangranthi disease can be correlated with hypertrophic scar and keloid.
