that |the |dermis |has |been |stretched |and/or |torn?
The |appearance |of |visible, |silvery-white |scars |is |an |indication |of |stretching |of |the |dermis.
The |pain |is |acute |due |to |the |large |number |of |Meissner's |corpuscles.
The |blood |vessels |in |the |dermis |rupture |and |the |blood |passes |through |the |tissue, |causing
|"black-and-blue |marks."
The |stretching |causes |the |tension |lines |to |disappear. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |appearance |
of |visible, |silvery-white |scars |is |an |indication |of |stretching |of |the |dermis.
