I HAD A BURN SCAR ON MY FACE OF SIZE 3inchesX1.5inches. THE BURN OCCURED 3months BACK BY
HYDROCLORIC SULPURIC ACID. I USED FLAMIGEL,BEPANTHENE OINTMENT FOR TWO MONTHS AND SINCE  LAST MONTH I AM USING GEL FROM OLEU PLANT DIRECTLY ON FACE. THE SCAR IS HYPOPIGMENTED .
THE COLOR OF THE SCAR IS PINKISH WHITE. MY SKIN COLOR IS BROWNISH. PLEASE ADVICE ME FOR TREATMENT OF THIS SCAR

I have hypopigmented scars on my face for 10 years now due to excessive used of astringent. I have done lots of medication but nothing happens. I just want to ask if ginger root juice can revive the damaged skin and return to normal color. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks.

Hello,
One medicine which has been advised by many dermatologists for scar diminishing is contractubex gel/cream. You can seek your dermatologist/surgeon’s opinion before using this cream. Otherwise you can go in for glycolic peals, laser treatments and pressure dressings.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
