Verteporfin for scar removal?

ossyrianJun 12, 2021
Would it be possible to use Verteporfin off label to remove scars (hypertrophic, keloids...). I have read in scientific literature that the results were amazing and could be possibily groundbreaking.

Hi there, I suggest seeing a Dermatologist. Angular Cheilitis comes and goes. Also using certain OTC products can worsen the condition as well saliva/licking the corners of your mouth. Have a consultation for laser genesis. Also likely need a steroid as well. Best of luck!
