Hypertrophic Scars – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

  Hypertrophic scars are characterized as elevated, red-colored, itchy lesions that remain within the confines of the original wound area. They often start with a brownish-red hue but can fade as they age. Unlike keloids, these scars are generally less nodular and don't protrude more than 4 mm above the skin's surface. The formation of hypertrophic scars usually begins about six to eight weeks after an injury and stabilizes around six months afterward. Notably, they tend to manifest more frequently on extensor surfaces such as the elbows and knees, and if they develop over joints, they can lead to restrictive contractures. Spontaneous regression is possible without any intervention, and the severity of scarring is closely linked to the depth and site of the injury. When addressing hypertrophic scars, steroids are commonly employed as the primary treatment option for this type of scarring, though a definitive cure is not straightforward. Steroids can be administered through in...
