Scar On The Face From An Accident. Any Creams Available?
Hello Sir, I am a 27 year old girl. I had a accident when I was about 10 year old and its scar is still there on my right cheek just next to nose. Its size is about one and half inch. By a close looks its faded but as scar skin is darker from the other part of the face, it makes it more noticeable. I want to know if it can be removed or at least be made less noticeable as it effect my self confident a lot. please help me with few creams which help in removing scar from face.
Hi, Thanks for writing to us. Your scar is too old to respond to creams alone. Use of tretinoin cream like retino a 0.05 percent might modify it to some extent For a definite treatment, You may consult a Dermatosurgeon or a plastic surgeon for scar revision surgery. The scar revision techniques are devised to reduce the visibility or smoothen the scar as much as possible. You may also try laser resurfacing for scar reduction. Hope that helped. Take care
