About: Burn scar contracture

An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Burn scar contracture is the tightening of the skin after a second or third degree burn. When skin is burned, the surrounding skin begins to pull together, resulting in a contracture. It needs to be treated as soon as possible because the scar can result in restriction of movement around the injured area. This is mediated by myofibroblasts.
