A member asked:

Why does peyronies scar tissue take much longer to develop than other scar tissues? and why does it not clear up like some other scars?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scars: Scars are permanent and some(fibrosis) are caused after months or years of inflammation while others occur more rapidly after injuries.
