Mederna and Silicone Tape. The last month and a half I have not been as ritualistic. I am noticing a slight keloid on my right breast. I plan on continuing treatment with the Maderna and tape. Any other suggestions to help the scar/dark spot removal process
The instruction for Embrace silicone strips for anchor breast lift say to apply the strips and leave on continually for 7-10 days showering with hem on as well. Since you will need to leave these on, does that mean they are taking the place of self scar massage and will be as effective in thinning out ropy scars? My scars are not hypertrophic or keloid. I feel they are normal for my stage of...
I have some pink skin discoloration after removal of actinic keratoses spots 4 weeks ago. The spots are gradually fading but still prevalent. In a follow up appointment yesterday the doctor told me they need to stay dry in order to fade. He recommended not to use any moisturizer on them, only my tretinoin rx and vit c serum. I have been using moisturizer on them up till now. Keeping them dry...
The area very tight after surgery and happened immediately, not hormonal. It cont. to get scabby when I don’t put moisturizer on it everyday. I think it’s damaged skin but I don’t know how to treat it. This was a result of the tummy tuck, behaves as an ongoing skin injury, after 12 years post op. It is scabby, will sluff off a bit when highly moisturized. I want to be very careful about how I...

After a lip lift done in January 2021 by a cosmetic surgeon in Sydney I am left with a white ugly scar. If I had another lip lift it would have to be raised much higher as the scar on the left side is low. Any suggestions would be helpful. I am thinking microneedling or another lip lift revision this time by a certified plastic surgeon.

Two weeks ago a dog's canines touched my cheeks which resulted into two deep cuts both about an inch below my eyes. I got about 6-7 stitches on both these cuts. It's been a week since the stitches are removed and I have started applying scaraway silicone gel. Has anyone else really had their stitch marks faded away just by using gels? Is a scar revision surgery effective enough?
I have been very embarrassed, self conscious, and disappointed with my circumcision scar for many years now and am finally at a point financially where I do not have to keep it on the back burner. . I’m not sure if a mistake was made, or what caused such a wide/profound scar and discoloration. I have done very little research up to this point and am looking for any advice/recommendations on t...

I've had some cold sore scars on my upper lip along my vermillion border (both sides) that I got from not letting the scabs heal completely. They've mostly turned white from loss of pigment. I've struggled a lot with having the scars, and I'm currently looking into getting male lip blushing but I'm curious as to what the best approach would be. Is it recommended that there be 1 thin, even...
My neck scar is 4" long and it pooches out all the way across. This is a fairly new incision but everyone else's is just a flat line even in the beginning. What are my options for flattening it and making it blend in with the rest of my skin? Which procedure would best address this scar?
I was reading someone saying that they tied a string around their earlobe keloid to cut off the circulation and the keloid dried up. I was wondering, does it really work?
