Asked By:Imaginative434220 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I am a 26 year old asian female who was bitten in the arm by a dog and left with several puncture wounds 7 weeks ago which I all got stitched up in hospital and now left with scars. I’ve been alternating between silicon gel and sheets during day and night and did a microneedling treatment about 3 weeks ago. Which I’m unsure to continue due to the pain and recovery time. What is the best treatments to address scarring some have left raised hypertrophic scarring and some left dark mark lines.
