Smooth skin so nowhere for dirt to get stuck?

Scar tissue has no pores or hair follicles.

The body kind of goes into emergency mode and is like "We have a hole in us! Just fuckin pour cement in there! But sir, what about the hair follicles and pores and stuff?? NO TIME! Just fuckin pour basic skin in there and do it fast!"

E- Welp, this is my highest voted comment ever lol, thanks for the awards everyone, that was really nice, rip inbox

Because scar tissue contains no pores to excrete oil, the lack of oil means there's nothing for the dirt to stick to.

This is actually a big concern for people with large burn areas on their body as sweat glands cannot make moisture on the skin surface as they did prior to the injury, which can result in much itching.
