I foolishly got a thigh lift about 18 years ago - which, btw, did absolutely nothing but make my legs worse - as well as given me ugly scars in the crease at my pelvic area. While most of it is pinkish, there is one section that is a darkish red-brown. Can I use the Retin-A (that is generally prescribed for the face) on that area? Will it help improve the scar? And will it hurt? As I know from past Retin-A use (on my face) that I had to stop because it burned so bad. Thank you.
Hi, I'm 25 years old and I started using retin-a on my thighs for some discoloration I had. After a week of use I developed really brown, burnt skin. I am brown skin but never had this. Its been over a year and my thighs are two-tone. You can actually see the line of demarcation from where I did and didn't use the retin-a. The skin is not keloid or hard. Its soft but darker than my outer thighs. I have tried vitamin e, amlactin, and most types of oils recommended for scars. Would peels or lasers work?
