Scars are areas of fibrous tissue (fibrosis) that replace normal skin after injury. A scar results from the biological process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues of the body. Thus scarring is a natural part of the healing process. With the exception of very minor lesions every wound (e.g. after accident disease or surgery) results in some degree of scarring.
