How Do Scars Form?

When our skin is damaged many cells come to the rescue! Some cleanup, others make collagen to fill the cut. The collagen is like cement filling the space between two bricks, only this cement has to fill the gap and move at the same time!

Nature has handled this by intentionally making too much collagen and melting some of it as we heal. If we don't melt enough of it in this natural process of molding, a thick scar results.
