Skin tension

This includes the tension caused by the degree of skin tissue defect and the inherent tension of the skin tissue itself. Hypertonic scars are prone to hypertonic scars, such as sputum, anterior sternum, deltoid, upper back, elbow, hip, knee, ankle, and foot, etc., and the ratio of abdominal transverse incision selected during cesarean section The longitudinal incision tension is much smaller, so the scar is also small.

2. Skin pigmentation

There are many colored pigment cells in the color, and it is also prone to stress reaction. The incidence of black keloid is 9 times higher than that of white people; it is more likely to occur in the physiological activities of the pituitary such as adolescence and pregnancy.

3. Age

Young people are prone to occur, especially in the 10-20 age group with the highest rate of hypertrophic scars. Mainly due to strong tissue growth during puberty, strong post-traumatic responsiveness, combined with skin tension; in terms of age, the possibility of scarring of pregnant moms who have cesarean section is high.

4. Infection

Repeated infection, long-term wound exposure, excessive proliferation of granulation tissue, prone to hypertrophic scars or keloids.

5. Foreign objects fall into the wound

Dust, talcum powder, fiber and hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat gland residues can cause tissue reactions, leading to scar hyperplasia.
