I had a bike accident and cut my penis. It formed a long red scar above the skin on my penis. Any ways of removing it?

Question

Scar goes from near bottom to just below fore skin I believe its a hypertrophic scar

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I would suggest an in person consultation with an expert for evaluation. Silicone based scar gels may help. Scars can be improved with lasers, microneedling, and surgery. Hypertrophic scarring can be treated with lasers along with steroid/5fu injections. Please seek an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Apply Plato's Scar Serum followed by lasers and injections to soften your hypertrophic scar. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Scars continue to mature and improve over a year. If it is still young and remodeling, you can continue treating your scar with various topical options such as silicone-based strips or gels. For both young and older scars, microneedling, fractionated laser, and radiofrequency make microscopic holes in the scar to stimulate your body to remodel and fill in the scar with new collagen. Finally, a surgical excision and possible tissue rearrangement can break up the line of the scar, make the scar thinner, and improve its appearance. For the best treatment options, it is important to visit an expert for an in-person examination. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee MD Plastic Surgery
