Contradiction edit
The last paragraph contradicts itself. It first states that hypertrophic scars are more common in the young than older people, then later says the opposite. I don't know which, if either, is right. 67.170.238.175 (talk) 02:05, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Restricting movement edit
Hypertropic scars, especially from burns, can and do sometimes restrict movement. This isn't dubious, as the scar tissue is both physically bulkier than unscarred tissue, and less elastic. Some references/sources:

brown colour edit
i have changed to "hypertrophic scars are red to brown and thick". in the article scars, it is mentioned that people with darker skin have brown hypertrophic scars.120.138.12.75 (talk) 15:59, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
