Which is Better for a Recent Forehead Scar on an Asian Baby - Mederma or Scarfade Gel?

Darker skin types or those that are prone to discoloration do well with topical skin lightening creams after injury. I would recommend the Melarase cream as a first line therapy.

Either topical will help to improve the appearance of a scar. No head to head studies have been performed  that show one working better than the other. Be sure to use a sunscreen daily to keep the area from pigmenting. If the scar remains very prominent at about a year, you may want to consult with a facial plastic surgeon to reorient the scar so that it is less visible.
