A member asked:
Why does my skin scar much more easily than it used to? is it age related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Skin looses elasticity with age and becomes more fragile. It is easier to damage and heals mor slowly with more obvious scars not only that but existing slats can become more noticeable with age.
