So a couple years ago I burnt my forehead and It didn't heal very well and now I has left these ugly marks on my forehead which I'm very self conscious about I ant help but stare at them every time I look a myself in the mirror. I've tried derma rolling and chemical peels but nothing has really worked for me I honestly don't know what to do at this point also the scars are not too deep.

Start with Plato's Scar Serum, Kenalog IIT, followed by laser therapy. There is a small chance you may need surgical scar revision. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

The cyst scars may be difficult to improve. I would use Plato's Scar Serum, Melarase PM, and fractional lasers for the breast stretch marks and scars. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Dear ashatae,you might need a scar revision surgery. Scarring can be minimized with a number of techniques including meticulous closure, nonuse of absorbable sutures, 6 weeks of taping followed by silicone scar therapy. I often recommend a product called biocorneum to prevent hypertrophic scars....

These scars can be improved with a combination of 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
