SummaryThe various clinical manifestations of scarring are an important topic for physicians in many disciplines. The prevention of excessive scarring is more successful than the treatment afterwards. Multiple options exist for prevention, wound repair modulation, and treatment of scars. This publication includes an overview of the pathogenesis, clinical classification, documentation, prevention, and invasive and non-invasive therapy options. IntroductionA scar (Latin: cicatrix) is the final condition resulting from a complex repair mechanism of the human body. Despite its importance, people who have scars often would rather their experiences were not visible on their body, as every scar tells a story. While some patients would like to erase their scars, thereby eliminating usually painful memories, in certain cultures or sub-cultures people intentionally bring about a scar healing process which is proudly displayed. Scarification (Latin: scarification, or scoring) refers to intentionally producing cutaneous scars. This technique is rooted deeply in the traditions of various peoples in which scarring is considered body decoration, or an initiation rite or symbol of belonging to a particular clan. Scarring is thought to represent courage and masculinity. This ritual is not limited to African tribes; in the Brazilian rain forest there are crocodile people, who modify their skin to conform to nature. In the Western world as well, there is what is known as a "scarification culture." Bodily modifications in terms of scarification are experiencing a renaissance. Depending on the technique used, the trend is known as cutting or branding and may be compared with tattooing. This is distinguished from psychological/pathological causes of scarring due to self-harm. There is also the issue of the attractiveness or stigmatization of people with scars. One study showed that men with facial scars were found attractive mainly by women who would consider having a short-term relationship. The authors suggested that there was an association between facial scarring and increased testosterone levels, reflecting attributes such as masculinity, courage, and strength [1].Yet, on the whole -regardless of scar morphology -most people do not find scars desirable. A representative survey found that 58.6 million Germans have scars. Of these, 10.6 million wish they did not have a scar, and of these one in four women (7.6 million) and one in ten men (3.0 million) (Source: Innofact on behalf of Bi-Oil ® ).
