Suggest Treatment For Prominent Scars On Ankles
Management of hypertrophic scars.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and your wife has developed hypertrophic scars.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to go for intralesional steroid injections on the sites of scars every 3 weeks. This will help in settling them. 4-5 injections will be required every 3 weeks.
Also I would recommend you to apply silicon containing cream like contratubex gel on the scars twice daily for 5-6 months.
This will further help in resolving them.
You can also consider going for laser treatment of these scars. Multiple sittings will be required.
This treatment can cure the scars upto 60-70 percent.
Complete disappearance is unlikely.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
