Oh, I can send you picture of the scar if you provide me with an email address or something like that. Because I don't see a picture attachment option here.
Thanks Dr. Kaur!! Um is the creme I'm given, called Vectinal, okay for this kind of scar?? As I mentioned before, the area is repigmented. And I need to get pigmentation back in there. So do you think a laser treatment would be good for this?? Because my dermatologist told me it might not be helpful enough. So I'm a bit concerned. Should I visit a plastic surgeon instead of a dermatologist??
Hello,
From your description, it looks like a first or second degree burn. Most superficial burns heal within about two weeks and don't usually leave a scar. 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. Severe scarrings may need skin grafting by a plastic surgeon.
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.
