Hyper-trophic Scar

2017-08-11 09:45:31
I went through a salabrasion process about 2 years and 4 months ago. And I got left with a hyper trophic scar - a small one on my arm, can be covered with my thumb. It dose not look like a keloid because it never grew beyond the wound boundary. But it is raised up from the skin surface.
