Types of scars
Normal scars are not or hardly thickened and do not have a (bright) red colour. A normal scar takes about a year to form and take on a firm shape and colour. During this time the scar can develop into an abnormal scar. A distinction is made between different types, including:
Hypertrophic scar
Hypertrophic scars are thick and stiff, rise above your skin and are bright red. They are often itchy, dry and painful. The scar can contract and become stiff, making it harder for you to move. They grow within the walls of the original wound.
Keloid scar
A keloid scar grows well beyond the edges of the original wound. Is extremely thick and 'overgrown'. Furthermore, they cause the same complaints as hypertrophic scars. A keloid scar is less common than a hypertrophic scar.
