If a burn patient exhibits excessive collagen deposition during the healing process on their arm, which consequence follows?

A)Increased melanocyte stimulation locally occurs

B)Reduced sebum production becomes apparent

C)Keratin synthesis sharply reduces in epidermis

D)Hypertrophic scar formation will likely occur✓

💡 Explanation

Hypertrophic scar formation results from excessive collagen synthesis during wound healing. Because the body overproduces collagen at the burn site, it leads to raised and thickened scar tissue; therefore, a hypertrophic scar forms, rather than normal tissue regeneration or other pigmentary or epidermal changes.
