{{main|Hypertrophic scars}}
[[Hypertrophic scars]] occur when the body overproduces [[collagen]], which causes the scar to be raised above the surrounding skin. [[Organ hypertrophy|Hypertrophic]] scars take the form of a red raised lump on the skin for lighter pigmented skin and the form of dark brown for darker pigmented skin. They usually occur within 4 to 8 weeks following wound infection or wound closure with excess tension and/or other traumatic skin injuries.<ref name=Roseborough2004>{{cite journal |doi=10.2119/molmed.2009.00153 |pmid=20927486 |pmc=3022978 |year=2011 |last1=Gauglitz |first1=Gerd |journal=Molecular Medicine |volume=17 |issue=1–2 |pages=113–25 |last2=Korting |first2=Hans |title=Hypertrophic Scarring and Keloids: Pathomechanisms and Current and Emerging Treatment Strategies }}</ref>
