Silicone Gel or Sheets (e.g., ScarAway, Mederma Scar Gel) – Helps flatten and lighten scars over time. Vitamin E Oil – Promotes healing and skin regeneration. Mild Skin-Lightening Agents – If hyperpigmentation persists, visit pediatric dermatologist - may recommend a mild depigmenting agent like Kojic acid or Vitamin C cream.
Next Steps
Keep the area moisturized to prevent excessive dryness. Avoid sun exposure on the scar to prevent further darkening. Monitor for any thickening, itching, or worsening pigmentation, which may require medical evaluation.
