Abstract
The healing process is a complex dynamic process, in which a set of synchronized and interdependent physiological mechanisms are activated for the reconstruction and repair of injured tissues. Occasionally, these processes develop abnormally, giving rise to the appearance of pathological scars which, although they do not pose any vital risk, can be a frequent cause of discomfort and discomfort, both in the physical aspect (itching, pain, and tightness) and in the psychological aspect. This work describes the types of pathological scarring and the proposals for their identification, assessment, prevention and treatment.
