  7. ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF...

About a month and a half ago I got a scratch on my face, it's still pinkish. What creams should I use?

The scratch scabbed up and fell off in a week natrually but its been pink for about a month now with slight indentation. A dermtoligist prescribed me Rx wound cream called luxamend. Is this a better alternative then a steriod?

Jason Emer, MD says:

You can have an evaluation now. You can get some good improvement with subcision and bellafill filler injections, but you would need to be completely healed. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in scar treatments for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer
