Abstract

Hypertrophic scar and keloids belong to the spectrum of abnormal wound healing. It has been a bothersome complication of scars. Various risk factors have been proposed to be in association with incidence of hypertrophic scars, the important one being familial predisposition and location of the scar. In this article we would like to put forth our experience in assessing the association between hypertrophic scar and blood group.
