Scar Tissues, the strongest part of the human skin

Scars can be referred as the areas having fibrous tissues that are used to replace normal skin when it gets damaged after injury. It can also be called as the wound repair tissues, scaring is a natural process in which external healing is done. They are different from the normal skin tissues that are replaced, they are of inferior functional quality. As compared to normal skin, scars are less resistant to ultraviolet radiation, sweat glands etc. If they are exposed on the scalp areas, hair follicles will not grow back.

There are two types of scars that are formed in the body as the result of overproduction of collagen. This overproduction results in raising the surrounding skin. Scar tissues are those that work as natural healers in healing the wound, this process is carried out by putting together the new fibers that are not functional as the original ones. These fibrous connective tissues forms a scar, when a injury, surgery, cut or disease has taken place, then the healing is done naturally. The scars can be observed as extra thick or raised in case of extra production of the fibrous ones.


Scar are the permanent marks, they can never be completely removed. Doctors generally suggest using creams and supplements rich in Vitamin E, as vitamin E is good for developing and healing skin. This will help to speed up the process of healing. Cosmetic and plastic surgeries can eliminate the appearance of them.
