Why does scar tissue have reduced function compared to normal skin during thermoregulation?

💡 Explanation

Scar tissue contains primarily collagen fibers which, because of their rapid deposition during wound healing, lack the sweat glands and hair follicles present in normal skin; therefore, evaporative cooling is impaired in scar tissue rather than enhanced by keratinocytes or melanocytes.
