Suture scars
Suture scars form at the site of surgical wound or skin injury closure. Their appearance depends on location, tissue tension, suturing technique, skin type, wound care, and individual tendency to scarring. They may be thin and barely visible, but sometimes become widened, red, hard, hypertrophic, or retracted. Concerning symptoms such as pain, discharge, increasing redness, or thickening of the scar should be discussed with a specialist.
