C. scar formation

Answer 1

If tissue damage is extensive and the tissue is highly differntiated, the most likely outcome of inflammation is scar formation. This is because when our body tissues are damaged or our inner skin is exposed by a cut or by any injury, some fibrous tissue called scar tissue starts growing around the wound in order to hold it together tightly the differentiated tissue and for the repair of the skin. This layer of scar tissue have different texture than normal skin and most of the time overlapping of tissues happen making it more prominent and visible.

Resolution can be defined as the complete normalization and healing of the skin after the injury without any visble appearance. Resolution generally happens in cases of small cuts where a lot of fibrous tissues are not used to hold and connect the cut.

Keloids are condition that comes after any injury whether small or big where an abnormal growth of scar tissue occurs even after the wound is already healed. This abormal and continued growth of scar tissue makes the scar bigger than the injury itself. Keloids are an unpredictable condition and can occur even after a little piercing of nose or ears.
