cicatrix

CICATRIX
Facial cicatrix: A scar on the face resulting from injury, surgery, or a medical condition.
Surgical cicatrix: A scar formed as a result of a surgical incision or procedure.
Keloid cicatrix: A raised scar that extends beyond the boundaries of the original wound, caused by excessive collagen production during healing.
Traumatic cicatrix: A scar resulting from a traumatic injury such as a cut, burn, or abrasion.
Hypertrophic cicatrix: A thickened, raised scar that remains within the boundaries of the original wound, often due to excessive collagen production during healing.
Linear cicatrix: A straight-line scar that forms as a result of a surgical incision or injury.
Abdominal cicatrix: A scar located on the abdomen, commonly resulting from surgery or trauma to the area.
Hypotrophic cicatrix: A thin, flat scar that forms during the healing process and may fade over time.
Burn cicatrix: A scar that forms as a result of a burn injury, often characterized by changes in skin texture and color.
Postoperative cicatrix: A scar that forms after a surgical procedure, typically located at the site of the surgical incision.
Acne cicatrix: A scar left behind by severe acne lesions, which can vary in appearance and texture.
Cicatrix formation: The process by which scar tissue develops and replaces damaged or injured tissue during wound healing.
Infected cicatrix: A scar that becomes infected during the healing process, potentially leading to complications and delayed healing.
Superficial cicatrix: A scar that affects only the outer layers of the skin, often less noticeable than deeper scars.
Fibrous cicatrix: A scar characterized by the formation of fibrous tissue during the healing process, which can contribute to its appearance and texture.
Cicatrix maturation: The process by which scars undergo changes in appearance and texture over time, often becoming less prominent.
Pigmented cicatrix: A scar that contains excess pigment, resulting in discoloration and changes in skin tone.
Deep cicatrix: A scar that extends into the deeper layers of tissue beneath the skin, often more noticeable and difficult to treat.
Post-traumatic cicatrix: A scar that forms as a result of a traumatic injury, such as a laceration or puncture wound.
Surgical cicatrix removal: The removal or revision of a scar through surgical techniques, often performed to improve its appearance or function.
Linear hypertrophic cicatrix: A raised scar that follows a linear pattern and remains within the boundaries of the original wound.
Contracted cicatrix: A scar that undergoes contraction during the healing process, leading to changes in skin texture and flexibility.
Atrophic cicatrix: A scar that appears sunken or depressed compared to the surrounding skin, often resulting from the loss of underlying tissue during healing.
Cicatrix hypertrophy: The abnormal growth or enlargement of a scar, often characterized by excessive thickness and raised borders.
Cicatrix management: The medical and cosmetic treatment of scars to improve their appearance and minimize associated symptoms.
Keloid cicatrix treatment: Therapeutic interventions aimed at reducing the size and appearance of keloid scars, which may include surgical excision, steroid injections, or laser therapy.
Cicatrix healing process: The series of biological events that occur during wound repair, leading to the formation of scar tissue and restoration of tissue integrity.
Cicatrix scar tissue: The fibrous tissue that forms during the healing process, replacing damaged or injured tissue and resulting in the formation of a scar.
Cicatrix revision surgery: Surgical procedures performed to improve the appearance or function of a scar, such as scar excision, tissue rearrangement, or grafting.
Cicatrix hypertrophic management: Treatment modalities aimed at reducing the size and thickness of hypertrophic scars, which may include silicone gel sheets, pressure therapy, or intralesional steroid injections.
