Two months ago, I was in a car accident that resulted in a small portion of skin being removed from my cheek due to road rash. Since the wound healed, I've been consistently using Mederma, but the scar no longer seems to be responding to it. There is also a small portion of the scar that has a different texture now (Similar to keloid skin). What would be the best approach to reducing the visibility of the scar even more and to help with the textural difference that has developed?

Answer: Hyperpigmentation road rash and lightening
I am one of the leading experts on keloid scars and would use a non surgical approach that includes IIT, lasers, and application of Plato's Scar Serum. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Thank you for your question. You don't need surgery to improve this. Creams to lighten the dark spots will help however you should really consider Laser Hair Removal. It will help tremendously with the hairs getting ingrown. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a treatment plan...
