Talk:Scar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please, let´s keep the terminology clear: scars do occur in virtually every type of tissue; matters that relate to scars of the skin should be discussed under an appropriate header, not under "what is a scar". 141.83.15.153 08:53 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I removed the following bit, it looked like vandalism to me:
- Aloe plant reduces the scar's apperance. An Aloe plant is in the cactus family. If you cut a piece of plant off and sweeze the liquid out if it and apply it to the scared area two times a day for about two weeks you will see tresults; good ones! I would certainly trust any information that I found on the webcite. Everything I read about treatment of scars were true. So I'll not only take their advise but I'll run with it.

[edit] Disambiguation needed
There are other uses for the word scar, such as the songs named in the article page, as well as the villains from The Lion King and Fullmetal Alchemist. Please make a disambiguation page. --Geopgeop 09:53, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Contradiction
This article is right now condradicting itself It says " An injury does not become a scar until the wound has completely healed." and "Note that the redness that often follows an injury to the skin is not a scar, and is in the far majority of cases not permanent." But there is a photo showing a wound that is not totally healed and is the redness of right after an injury and it says it is a scar. Which one is the accurate one? And also this article could use a photo of a scar that is a normal scar not one that's from overproducing collagen. Lyo 03:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
also right now parts of this article are looking suspiciously similar to a webmb.com article http://www.webmd.com/content/article/117/112615.htm It basically almost all needs to be re-written Lyo 03:36, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
entire "scars of the skin" section blatantly plagiarized from webmd. Kwalka 07:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Laser Resurfacing
I'm not sure if "highly experimental" is the right term for laser treatments as they have been in use for over a decade and have in recent times shown to have remarkable results for certain scars, most notably those resulting from Acne.

[edit] Request for new photo
I'd suggest choosing a new photo to illustrate this article. Using the image of a notoriously villainous Nazi to illustrate the phenomenon of facial scarring is distracting and perpetuates negative stereotypes about people with facial scars. -Steve —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 154.20.5.12 (talk) 11:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC).
