Fell over when I was 3 years old I had stitches but as a kid pulled them off as it was itchy and uncomfortable this led to my scar being shiny all my life. I don't mind if theres a scar there as long as the shiny ness is gone? Any advice?
Around 2/3 years ago I made the awful decision to remove an upper lip mole that I was teased about with apple cider vinegar at home, I was only 15 at the time and didnt know any better, scarring never even crossed my mind. After I removed it it was really red and back then I didnt understand the importance of sunscreen, like I do now. The scar is shiny and very noticeable and I have zero self confidence. Whats the best way to help the appearance of this? Im desperate at this point.
I went to this local aesthetician who has convinced me to get rid of my facial wart thru laser which I really regret now. He didn't do a good job at all. He burned my skin creating like a circular wound. It has been a month now and the area looked pretty well healed but it is darker than usual, like dark red. The scar now feels flat, but wrinkly, shiny, looks like a small blister but with no fluid inside it. During the month I have applied biocorneum and aquaphor on top of it after it dries.
Hello doctors, its been about 3.5 years since Ive had lip lift surgery, skin only, with 8 mm removed. I have had laser on the scar at 6 months, had steroidal treatment, tried micro needling the scar about 6-7 times ( it brings colour back temporarily for a few days a while healing), tried micro dermabrasion, and have also tried using Retin-A for months with not much benefit, in terms of scar colour. Is there a treatment I might be missing? Thank you all so very much for your suggestions!
Its said that early scars when treated give better results. I had chicken pox on 18th of sept'16. I had total 9 scabs on my face out of which two are still there . As the scabs fall they leave behind a slight depressed shiny brownish pink skin.( Note the skin is shiny there like it needs to come off)Should i wait to see if the scars heal and skin peels off naturally or go for scar treatment at earliest. My derm has prescribed t bact(mupirocin) for post scab inflammation. Please advice.
I got them since primary school during vacation, they're all white, flat & shiny. Creams & scar gels certainly don't work on them. I really wish to post the pictures of my scar here to make sure you can see them but I dont have an option to. Pls. Help, thank you so much.
