Yes, this will more than likely scar. The scar will be 50-100 times the total surface area you were attempting to treat . You can minimise the scar by seeing a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. They will 1. Dress the wound, take swabs 2. Cover you against infection 3. Remove any necrotic eschar from the base 4. Wait 3-7 weeks for granulation tissue 5. See you 2-3 x a week till this total heals. 6. Use silicone dressings, post closure 7. Consider Vascular laser in a few weeks 8. More than likely excise the scar 9. Cover the wound bed with a FTSG. 10. Revise the FTSG graft! with factional Co2 or erbium laser 11. Redress the area and wait for total wound healing 12. May encourage EGF and PRP early on, then the usual silicone and vascular lasers later. This scar can be improved with time and treatment. Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
