Hypertrophic Scar

A one-page care plan for patients with Hypertrophic Scar, covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Expectations & Execution, Nutrition, Next Steps & Numbers, Consistency & Clarity, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.

In this plan

  1. Purpose, Prevention & Protection

    • I understand that a hypertrophic scar is harmless, noncancerous, and not contagious.
    • I know it stays within the original wound, unlike a keloid that grows beyond it.
    • I know excess scar tissue may form after surgery, burns, injury, or infection.
    • I protect healing wounds from pulling, rubbing, picking, and repeat injury.
