Suggest Treatment For Painful Scars Due To Wounds
Hi, my dad has gotten wounds on his legs that close up...but leave awful scars...red and brown scars. Hes never had this before. It started happening the last 2 years. Now once the wound closes it leaves really noticeable scars, and when he touches them hes feels a little pain.

hi there.
1. your dad's concern may be prurigo nodularis.
2. its secondary to dry skin and due to insect bite most probably due to mosquito bites.
3. advice him to apply venusia moisturiser twice daily after bath on wet skin.
4. ask him to apply HHFUDIC cream on affected areas after applying moisturiser.
5. advice him to have enough protection against mosquito bites.
once check his fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels.
this may help him.
