Persisting Burnt Scars On Chest And Arms. Which Medicine Will Help?
hi its going to be 3 years since i ve burnt with hot water. I got burnt from my face, chest and arms my doctor did tell me before i left the hospital that my face would be the first to heal and it was the first to heal. As for my chest and arms nothing has changed its still the same i cant wear open tops or vest because i m to embarrassed. So i would like to know which product can i use that will remove the scares?
hi..thanks for your query.
The treatment for scars depend on the nature, depth and extent of the injury and the scarring process.Depending on the same, there are several treatment options ranging from creams to surgical methods.
If the result of burns are only darker skin on smaller surface areas, topical depigmenting creams may be applied to achieve a lighter colour. Topical self drying silicone gel and topical silicone gel sheetings are safe and effective treatments for hypertrophic and keloidal scars. It is easy to apply and cosmetically acceptable.burns leading to contractures over a larger area are best treated by skin grafting from a normal region of the body.
You should visit a plastic surgeon to assess the nature and degree of scarring as the exact modality can only be suggested on inspecting the area .
hope this helps.take care!
