Hi all -
In translating a medical report on a burn patient who has had extensive plastic surgery I am lost with this one word-- infiltrée - what is the word we use in medical English? Google is not helping much.
Here is the whole sentence:
"Cette cicatrice est souple, non infiltrée"
Thanks!!!

Also from the Merck website:
Scars are areas of fibrosis that replace normal skin after injury. Some scars become hypertrophic or thickened and raised. Keloids are hypertrophic scars that extend beyond the original wound margin.
In your case, the scar shows no sign of hypertrophy.

Of course, the term of interest is "non infiltre'e) which could be translated, in my opinion, as "superficial"
