Hypertrophic scar
-
A scar thats bothersome and unsightly because its raised above the skin and looks like a lump due to too much [collagen] being produced during [the healing] process of a wound. It feels itchy and sometimes painful, too. It may take several years for them to flatten and fade, but until then theyre a real pain and youre going to spend a bit of money on silicone sheets and scar gel to remove them. On the bright side, at least its not a [keloid].
