How can I completely remove really dark eczema scars from my neck? (Photos)

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our Hidef protocols for scar revision can address different types of scars, depending on your scar biometrics and characteristics. Protocols vary in duration based on the severity of your scars. 
Bad scars can manifest in many different ways, including pigmentation, thickening, and depression of atrophic scars. Thick scars are best treated in my practice with IIT, cortisone injections, pressure management, and laser. We recommend daily use of Plato’s Scar Serum to the scars to mediate scar hypertrophy. 
Hyperpigmented scars respond well to Melarase AM and Melarase PM creams. If the area is large, consider Luminase and Exfolase creams for the body. Hyperpigmentation PIH can also be treated with Q switch laser, PICO, chemical peels, and rapid scar exfoliation. PIE erythema scars are best treated with pulsed dye laser. 
Keloid scars are our specialization. We manage small and large keloid scars with excision, IIT, PRP, laser therapy, and scar modulation. Use Plato’s Scar Serum daily. 
Textural scars respond well to nanofractional RF and fractional laser to help improve surface texture. When combined with scar modulation, the results can improve dramatically. The most important variable is for you to choose a plastic surgeon with expertise in laser therapy using Hidef protocols.

Hello and thank you for the question. There are indeed several lasers that can minimize browns or dark scars and I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon or aesthetician in your area. They can best determine type and number of treatments. As always, keep the area covered with a quality sunscreen to prevent further darkening and damage. Best of luck!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

These scars can be improved with a combination of Cosmelan, lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Many conditions melisma, darkness from excema, sun, genetics can cause uneven skin coloration.This is not possible to completely get rid of, however, spf 30 daily and prevention will help minimize worsening. Microneedling with prp over multiple treatments may also help with blending the skin coloration over time.Best. Dr Brecht
