Scars & Stretch Marks

Traumatic & Injury Scars

Injury scars can combine colour, contour and tissue-loss changes.

In plain language

What this term means.

Traumatic scars follow cuts, abrasions, burns or deeper injury. Their shape and depth reflect the original damage and the way it healed.

What patients notice

Common signs and descriptions

  • Irregular contour
  • Colour mismatch
  • Tethering or tissue loss
  • Symptoms such as itch or pain

Possible explanations

Different causes can look similar

  • Cuts or abrasions
  • Burns
  • Infection
  • Delayed or complex healing

Professional assessment

How a consultation may clarify the concern.

Age, colour, depth, thickness, symptoms and location are documented
A tendency to form raised scars and the original cause are considered

Treatment approach

Options follow the diagnosis

  • Choose care according to scar maturity and type
  • Combine colour, texture and symptom treatments only where appropriate

Avoid

What not to do

  • Do not cut, burn or use strong acids on scars at home
  • Avoid treating a growing raised scar as a simple dark mark

Care

Useful next steps

  • Protect healing skin from sun and follow wound-care advice
  • Seek early review if a scar becomes raised or symptomatic

Frequently asked

Questions to take into consultation.

A photograph can document appearance but may not show texture, depth, scalp findings or warning signs. A diagnosis and personalised plan may require history and in-person examination.

Not usually. The appropriate pathway depends on the cause, severity, skin or hair characteristics, previous treatment, medical suitability and the result you hope to achieve.
