Immediately after injury, when skin is raw with the wound, our body tries to protect our skin by migrating our epidermal melanin pigment cells upwards which leads to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

When skin is healed completely after injury there occurs formation of a fibrous scar which looks different from original skin & has to be treated differently. The intensity of formation of the scar depends upon how deeper was the injury. To improve these kinds of scars various ablative or invasive treatments should be planned which will act on the fibrous tissue beneath the scar & will help information of new collagen.
