If it resolves and recovers quickly, a scar will form

It is not very likely.

​

However, if the removal of the causative bacteria is delayed

Persistent abnormal inflammatory response in skin tissue

As damage worsens and recovery is delayed, collagen

Generation may be insufficient.

​

Consequently, the space caused by tissue damage is

The space that needs to grow larger and be filled is due to a lack of collagen.

If left behind, a sunken atrophic scar develops.

In addition, melanin is overproduced due to the inflammatory response

Hyperpigmentation may occur.
