Some do not cause any real problems but others become red or dark and raised scars and stay that way (colouration is dependent on skin type). Thee scars can be unsightly and uncomfortable, causing emotional distress or even restricting movement. You may have a scar like this and if you have, did you know there is a treatment available over the counter from your pharmacist that can safely, comfortably and effecyively soften, flatten and fade the scar? It's called CICA-CARE. Understanding scarsA scar is a mark left after a wound. It is an essential and natural part of the healing process to either the top layer of skin (the epidermis) or the tissue under the skin (the dermis).Damage to the epidermis is healed by the rebuilding of skin and normally results in only slight scarring. When the dermis is damaged, skin repair is more complicated. To do this the body lays down protein called collagen which occurs naturally within the body and this usually leads to more noticeable scars. In some cases the scars left by these deeper wounds will not fade but will not fade but will remain red or dark and raised. These are called hypertrophic or keloid scars and can be treated with Cica-Care. For more information Call the Cica-Care line on 01482 673508 (Republic or Ireland 1-850-300-700). |
