Abstract

Scars such as hypertrophic and Keloid scars are still among plastic surgery's worst nightmares. Other scars which we have considered are those of burns scars, which can result in an ugly appearance and cumbersome to the patient. But they too were found to have some complications. This provides an overview of scars and scar contractures, and management principles especially microdermabrasion and complication developed with it. In our study, we have observed maceration after 2 days of the procedure
