Dans ce contexte-ci, il s'agit de la formation de cicatrices, ou de marques de cicatrices qui seront laissées, plutôt que de la «cicatrisation» qui désigne le processus de guérison, de régénération des tissus. Le choix du terme anglais nous laisse d'ailleurs perplexes; on se demande pourquoi ce n'est pas "scarring" qui a été retenu. 1, record 2, French, - traces%20de%20cicatrices
