These mites are largely parasitic and consume blood, skin and keratin. Dust mites, which feed mostly on dead skin and hair shed from humans instead of consuming them from the organism directly, evolved from these parasitic ancestors.
Hypertrophic scar (4 months after incident) A hypertrophic scar is a cutaneous condition characterized by deposits of excessive amounts of collagen which gives rise to a raised scar, but not to the degree observed with keloids. Like keloids, they form most often at the sites of pimples, body piercings, cuts and burns. They often contain nerves and blood vessels.
Treatment for hypertrophic scars can be very time consuming. The scar must be dressed for twelve to twenty four hours a day until it is healed. If not dressed, healing will take longer. Moisturizing oils, silicone gel, pressure dressings, and silicone scar reduction patches are all ways to treat the scar.
