Answer: DrDerby Thank you for your photo. It looks like you have scars that are hypertrophic , this means they are elevated and more noticeable. It is something more common with patients with colored skin and it can improve with filtration injections in the scar performed by your doctor. Best of luck

Answer: Hypertrophic scars Thank you for your question. It appears that you have hypertrophic scarring. This means that the scar is thick and raised. Treatment options include silicone sheeting, steroid injections and scar revision. Unfortunately the recurrence rate for this type of scarring is very high with revision. It’s more common among darker skin individuals Asians, Latino, African Americans, etc.
