When I was 9 years old, I had a hot wax from the microwave that spilled on me. It burned on my left thigh. It has gotten a bit smaller but some of it is still thick. Now im 14 years old. How can I get rid of the scar?
Answer: Scar treatment for wide burn scar Unfortunately at your age, your very healthy healing process may result in a thick scar. You could flatten the scar using steroid injections but you could risk lightening and blood vessel formation. The best option is probably excision with linear repair, Hwoever, many people would argue about the optimal timing for this procedure. It is my impression that lasers, etc would be of minimal benefit.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Resurfx laser can help minimize appearance of this scar Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: Burn scars Burn scars can be very difficult to deal with. This scar may be able to be reduced by serial excision or even direct excision which may leave you with a slightly widened scar on the thigh.

Answer: How to flatten a thick burn scar Your dermatologist may be able to help you by injecting some medicine with a very small needle. After applying cold compresses, the injection is not really painful. You may also get a prescription for medicated tape that sometimes helps to flatten the scars. Good luck. Since it is getting better, I think it will continue to do this!
