Wounds and Scars

A wound is a disruption to the body structure due to physical injury. The wound may affect only the skin surface, may be under the skin or might affect the skin on the surface and beneath it. A wound is an incision (cut) from surgery. A wound also can be caused by pressure on bony areas, a fall or accident, tumour growth or radiation therapy. Proper care is important to protect it from infection and help it heal. Scars are healed wounds. Wounds and Scars can also be treated with Aesthetic Medicine and Procedures.
