Dear RSelf, I got a hypertrophic scar after acid burnt. I had steroid injections 8 times but it didn't work. The first picture is my scar after 8 steroid treatments. As steroid didn't work for me, I went to another doctor to have my scar treated with laser co2. The doctor flattened my scar and extended it too. You can see in the 2nd picture. I wondered why he did it. Did he do it on purpose or was it a mistake? I'm nervous that my scar would be bigger after healing. Please help me Thanks a ton!
