Patient's question:
What medicine can be used to remove scars if a child accidentally bumps and gets injured? A friend explained that Bakacel silicone cream is not known to be effective. Or if you have a better medicine for removing scars that works well, please explain. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The photo you took is very unclear, and it's hard to see. Generally, you can use scar cream, which is medical silicone gel, for treatment. This is to prevent scars from fibrosis. Scars usually gradually subside within three months, and then slowly decrease after that. Generally, it takes about a year for the scar to reach a stable state. You can wait until the scar is stable after a year before deciding on a treatment method. There are many treatment methods, such as fractional laser.
