Suggest Treatment For Burn Scars On The Face And Neck

Posted on Wed, 15 Mar 2017

Question: Hello there. I had a terrible accident about 15 years ago, and although I was burned badly on my face and neck so long ago, believe it or not, sometimes they still hurt. They are on my upper lip and all over my chin and I feel so very ugly and self conscious about them but my face has been a field of cycts since I was burned, so what do I do, Please help me. I am willing to do anything even if it costs me all my savings to feel normal and not like a freak.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have gone through your complaints and can understand your concern.
For your scars creams and oral medication won't be of much effective.
You need to consult a doctor and go for either laser resurfacing or microneedling treatment.
Another option if the scars are not covering a large area you can consider going for plastic surgery.
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
