Wounds can recover through either scar formation or regeneration. The damaged tissue is replaced by new tissue of the same type during regeneration. As a result, the wounded body part’s normal function is preserved. In the scarring process, the damaged tissue is replaced with fibrous scar tissue, which lacks the original tissue’s characteristics. The healing process is sped up with less scarring when wounds are properly cared for, which also helps prevent infection and other issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
