FS Friends - what is your scarring like in general?

I've read a lot here lately about the scar tissue that builds up in our FS. I'm curious if there could be any connection between FS and skin that scars easily...

In general, I get heavy scarring from a deep cut or surgery. The scar looks more like a pink caterpillar than the nice, thin disappearing line that my daughter & hubby enjoy for scars. My Mom had two FS years ago & also gets heavy surgical scarring. 

Anyone else relate?

    Not me. I had my thyroid removes several years ago and the line is barely noticeable.

    The FS, however, is painful enough to bring me to my knees (literally at one point!)

    Well, since scarring is a secondary response to some other trigger, I think it has more do due with immunity and/or hormones. Scarring, I believe, is what is causing most of the pain and inflammation, but what is causing the scarring to occur is what I'd like to know.

    Thank you, Tara, Midonda & Karen. I would love to know too why the FS scarring happens - I guess that's the adhesive part of AC smile There's been some study done on keloids & contractures, but AC is a different monster...
