These are several different types of scars including:
- Flat (normotrophic) scars – barely noticeable, originally have red color, gradually become white and more dense over 2-3 years.
- Hypertrophic scars – noticeable scars in red or purple (can appear after delivery by caesarean section).
- Contracture scars – scars formed as a result of burn injuries; often tend to be hypertrophic.
- Keloid scars – appear in place of the wound due to excess collagen formation. The peculiarity of such defects is that the clotted tissue grows beyond the limits of the damage itself, even after complete healing of the wound.

The deeper the integrity of the skin is affected, the larger the scar. Also, the size of the defect depends on the characteristics of the body, mostly, on the ability to excessive formation of connective tissue.
