A member asked:
Is it possible for a scar to be red permanently? and can any one explain it to me what causes the redness of the scar? and how can we treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scar redness: The new tissue after an injury is thinner,vascular and has more redness than the normal surrounding skin. In time the new skin thickens and becomes less red.
