Abnormal scar formation occurs when wounds cannot close properly. Examples of this include:
  1. Cosmetic areas such as the lips and mouth
  2. Gaping wounds
  3. Wounds around rings
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - D - Abnormal scar formation will occur when wounds cannot close properly. The mouth and lips are constantly moving and often do not heal correctly. Large wounds will not heal without proper assistance, such as with staples or stitches. Ring wounds will not heal properly at times because of the irritation that the ring causes on the wound.
