There are numerous treatment options that one can use for scars. The main type of scar that is troublesome for you is most likely a keloid scar which is a raised thick and lumpy scar and that can sit on top of the skin.
There are numerous treatment options that I can provide for this. We can use topical treatment or a topical steroid, a topical tape that is impregnated with a steroid. A silicone dressing is also very, very good at reducing the keloid scar.
And here at Clinica, I can also inject the keloid scar with intralesional steroid, which is very, very beneficial for keloid scarring and has numerous side effects and as such it’s very important that we discuss these at great length before we perform this type of procedure here at Clinica. But there are numerous treatment options for scars that are very successful if keloid scarring is a problem.
