Abstract
Scar formation is discussed along with definitions of the three most c ommon types of scars: normal, hypertrophic, and keloid. Several curren t forms of therapy designed to reduce or eliminate scars are presented . The use of silicone gel sheeting is reviewed as a newer solution for the treatment of many types of lower extremity scars.
