Will Retin-A Help Raised Scar in a Wound?

February 25, 2010
Asked By:eva26usa in Seattle

I had a eyebrow laceration 2 weeks ago which was minimally repaired in the ER. It now has a raised, thickened area for which the dermatologist I saw recommended Retin-A use once at night. Is this helpful, and what else would you recommend?
