ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial aims to study two types of scars called hypertrophic scars and keloids, which can develop after surgery. Researchers want to measure the size of these scars over time to see how they change and to test if 3D cameras can be useful tools for accurately measuring and documenting these scars. The trial is currently looking for participants who are at least 18 years old and have these types of scars. If you are interested, you'll need to give your written consent to take part in the study.

If you join this trial, you can expect to have your scars measured at different times, which will help researchers understand how these scars behave over time. Your participation will contribute valuable information that could improve future treatments for people with similar scars. It's important to note that only individuals who are willing to follow the study guidelines and can understand what the study involves will be eligible to participate.
