A member asked:
What is the benefit of scar tissue vs. normal skin regeneration?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Scar is normal: Healing with scar tissue is part of the normal healing process. At times a scar can become wide - a hypertrophic scar or the scar can keep on growing as in a keloid. Hypertrophic or keloid scars may need some treatment such as surgical scar revision or cortisone injections. See you doctor if you think you are having excess scarring.

None: Scar is not more beneficial, but it is how we heal.
