Why Do We Get Scars
Scars can come from a number of places.

- Burns
Scars are formed after the skin is cut, broken, or burned. A natural healing process of the skin gets rid of cells and tissue that are damaged or dead and replaces it with a new layer of skin and tissue. Since your skin is altered in shape the regrowth won't be the same because there has been an alteration of how the skin looks.
