If I have a very thin piece of scar tissue on my skin, and then I surgically cut the skin open right along the middle of the scar, and ensure that I do all the best scar healing practises (like holding the skin on either side of the wound together), what will happen? Will the scar get smaller or bigger?
IIRC, scarring ocurrs because it’s new tissue created by the body patching up the cut naturally. If anything, I think trying to surgically remove the scar this way would just make it worse.
