Why do my cuts always turn into scars? could something be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scars: Everytime our skin gets cut or injured we form scar tissue. Some scars are more apparent than others. Some people form severe scarring called hypertrophic scarring or Keloids which are large raised scars. These are more common in darker skinned people. If you have severe scarring see your doctor or dermatologist as there are treatments.
