    GlossaryBurn Scars (Burn Injuries)

    fibrous tissue replacing normal skin after burn wounds heal

    Burn scars, also known as burn marks or burn injuries, are areas of fibrous tissue that replace normal skin after a burn wound has healed. These scars can result from thermal, chemical, electrical, or radiation burns and may vary in severity, leading to different types of scarring such as hypertrophic scars, keloids, or contractures. The healing process involves complex biological mechanisms, including inflammation, tissue regeneration, and collagen deposition, which can sometimes result in functional and aesthetic impairments.
