Abstract: Scars commonly give rise to unpredictable, potentially irritating, cutaneous complications including pruritis, folliculitis, and pigment changes. These problems can be self-limiting and are prevalent in many burn cases, although their expression varies among individuals. A better understanding of the presentation, risk factors, and pathophysiology of these long-term sequelae allows for more comprehensive care of burn survivors.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors have no disclosures to make.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
