ELi5: Why are some scars purple, some white, some brown, some red, and some pink? 379 viewsJanuary 7, 2021 0 Question68.04K January 5, 2021 1 Comment Pretty much what the title says. Why does scar tissue come in so many colours? In: Biology Darth_Mufasa commented January 5, 2021 Mostly due to age of the scar. As time goes by the scar heals more and becomes less inflamed, and color changes as a result. Severity of the injury also matters, and if you develop an abnormal scar like a keloid that will also cause discoloration. 0 Answers ActiveVotedNewestOldest Register or Login
