Hi I have scar tissue between my inferior turbinate & septum after nasal polyp surgery. I now suffer from chronic dryness left sided and pain, inflammation itchy! Would you recommend removing the adhesion?

[@mentallionaire8626]

A physical therapist stated the opposite, that original tissue is linear and that scar tissue is cross-stacked like sticks in a pile. I've also been told contradicting statements by professionals about original tissue and scar tissue being stronger than the other.

[@Pastiche-Training]

Thanks for you comment. The scar is a result of the body's repair mechanism after injury in many tissues. Scar tissue is composed of the same protein (collagen) as the tissue that it replaces, but the fiber composition of the protein is different; instead of a random basketweave formation of the collagen fibers found in normal tissue, in fibrosis the collagen cross-links and forms a pronounced alignment in a single direction. This collagen scar tissue alignment is usually of inferior functional quality to the normal collagen randomized arrangement. The collagen is denser and less elastic than normal tissue and proliferation of this highly cross-linked collagen-abundant scar tissue often results in diminished physiological function. For example, scars in the skin are less resistant to ultraviolet radiation. Also, sweat glands and hair follicles do not grow back normally within scar tissues.

I have scar tissue in my jaw from it having been out of place for 17 years.. What kind of scar tissue would this be? It’s taken 2 years of physical therapy and I’m still breaking through it

[@Pastiche-Training]

Do you have a picture of it? That would help identify.

[@Kayscastle]

@@Pastiche-Training a picture of myself (where you can see how bad my jaw is positioned) or a picture of the scar tissue?

[@Pastiche-Training]

@@Kayscastle The actual scar tissue with some normal skin around the edges

[@Kayscastle]

@@Pastiche-Training The scar tissue is all internal.. I’m looking into getting some kind of CT scan though

If your prone to keloids scarring. How should you treat a vascular lesion on lip that has had laser treatment?

[@florencebarrett-hill5815]

If you are prone to keloid scarring a laser treatment should have been avoided. If the vascular lesion is a result of a laser treatment I would return to the clinic that performed the treatment and ask for further information.

[@LB-me4ch]

@@florencebarrett-hill5815 Its my understanding certain areas of the body such as the lip does not keloid. You can have hypertrophic scarring at one location and not another location. I have a vascular lesion and was treating it with laser. I did not get a vascular lesion from the laser. Issue is the lesion was subcutaneous now it's a superficial lesion. More noticable to the eye.

Yep, The similarity between dermatological terminology and the RHCP song is purely coincidental...

Can scar tissue that has been untreated for 2 year be treated without surgery ?

[@florencebarrett-hill5815]

yes Nickel it can be treated with a modality commonly called needling or micro needling or collagen induction.

[@nickelorr1352]

@@florencebarrett-hill5815 thank you so much for the reply but I have one more question, can it work on internal scar tissue ?

@@florencebarrett-hill5815 I had a hamstring rupture in 2019 and my rehab was very terrible which caused me to damage the same hamstring 9 times and now there’s a big lump in the area whenever I tense the muscle and no matter what exercises I try the muscle doesn’t get stronger so I want to believe that’s internal scar tissue

[@florencebarrett-hill5815]

@@nickelorr1352 I believe that this is something (adhesions)that can be helped by your physiotherapist. Have you approached them about it?
