Abstract: Pathological scars are the result of excessive wound healing, which can severely impact patients’ quality of life and physical and mental health, which is one of the common intractable diseases in dermatology and orthopedics. Currently there is no specific therapy method avaiable. However, in recent years, the promising efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating pathological scars has garnered attention. Through reviewing and analyzing relevant literatures over the past decade, this article reviewed the roles and possible mechanisms of various active components of TCM for pathological scar, in order to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of related diseases.
