Wound care takes place in two phases:

• The deep-healing phase—dermal tissues regenerate healthy capillaries and cells. If a wound is too severe, medical attention may be required immediately
• The superficial phase—the dermis begins to close, working inward from the outer edge of the wound

Aside from a healthy healing environment, it is crucial to give a wound sufficient time to heal. In rare cases there may be complications with scar formation due to:

• Metabolism disorders
• Malnutrition
• Bed rest
• Poor circulation (especially in the legs)
• Excessive scarring, also known as “keloidal” scarring
