Scar Treatment
Scar prevention is better than treating it. Especially you must be treated as soon as possible so that it is not difficult to treat.
Treatment Methods:
- The first line of treatment is silicon, either alone or with any cortisone. Which reduces the appearance of scar tissue and reduces redness. Present in the form of gel or silicone sheets also it can be in the form of a stick. Silicon works by moisturizing the area and increasing blood flow in the treated scars.
- Steroid Injection: It can help relieve scar tissue and is suitable for large or prominent scars because it makes scars look smaller and reduce pain and redness.
