Question

I had a fistulectomy to treat my fistula in ano an May 2016. Although fistula has been treated but I have a painful and very hard scar at the site of surgery.What treatment options I can consider.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This requires an in-person evaluation. This may be improved with a revision, lasers, and microneedling/prp. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Fistula scars are important to address as they sometimes become keloid like or can even require biopsy to rule out malignancy. I would use Plato's Scar Serum and then see a surgeon. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
