I was bit by my dog almost two months ago. I was bit on my right upper cheekbone/under eye and underneath my eyebrow. The wound has closed. It is now a red hyperpigmented area but also a slight painful internal lump around both areas of where I was bit which I assume is scar tissue. My question is, does that soften/go away completely with time and does the red hyperpigmentation go away as well? What products should I use to better help with the scarring process? Will any specific procedure help with removing any sort of scars. I do see a white line forming on one of the cuts I had. I did notice that my cuts did not scab, they just turned red. I have been adding silicone gels and previously also using aloe vera plant but dont see any changes.
At week 9 of scar healing from dog bite sustained on 6/7/24. Persistent swelling under the lip line causing area to seem and remain visibly pronounced. Was told by Surgery dept that. no procedures could be considered until after 1 year. Are there non-surgical procedures that might help reduce swelling and/or will swelling reduce on its own? What non-surgical procedures are recommended, if so and what time frame would be best to increase chances?

Hi , You can call me Y2 and I'm 26 years old. Three years ago I was bitten by a dog on my nose. I got seven stitches from the left side of my nose going across the bridge of my nose then over to the right side of my nose. They also put a stitch in the tip of my nose. I noticed a couple of posts about different treatments. They attempted to re-cut open the scar and re stitch to adjust the width of the scar. I also had 5 fraxel procedures done. What if any would be my best next procedure to do?
I have trauma from this scar and it affects my self esteem. It used to be flatter but with age it feels more and more prominent. When I smile its less noticeable which is why I had the first scar revised. Ive used fillers (not enough) and lasers which have done hardly anything. There is one section in particular I would like some skin taken from but I dont know what the best procedure or steps would be. The original surgeon offered to fix it back when it healed but I was too afraid. It is revised by z-plasty one year after initial scar.
Hi, I was bit by a new family dog on 5/11. This scar on my lip is really bothering me. The upper lip scar is most bothersome, I don't too much care about the one directly on my lip. The upper lip scar has started to become raised. I've been using Scaraway gel liberally ever since I got the stitches out. I am a recent college grad and not a rich girl. What are my options and a price range for them?
