Reason for Being - A Blog for Scar Sufferers

Over the past few years the medical community has begun to focus heavily on ways to drastically minimise and prevent scarring post-surgery and dermal wounding in humans, as well as ways to remove old scar tissue that has resulted from acne or skin inflammation.

This blog aims to collate, document and present various articles that cover current and potential research into scarless wound healing. This shift in focus would suggest we are now only a few years away from the presentation of drugs which would prevent scar tissue growth, thus providing people, who have suffered from any type of scarring, an end to their emotional suffering.

I also hope this blog can serve as a place where scar sufferers (of all types: acne, atrophic, hypertrophic, keloids etc.) can discuss and contribute their experiences about how they deal with their scarring and the assorted methods they have tried to reduce them.

The coming years should demonstrate a shift from current treatments intending to help with scar-less healing towards an approach whereby all treatments will produce scarless wound healing.
