Fresh injury scars

2020-05-17 10:02:55
Is there any cream or oil for these very fresh scars on leg? These are just one month back from a minor accident. Also will mederma work on this?

Scar is still immature. You can apply silicon based ointment or gel sheets for better results and to prevent hypertrophy and pigmentation. Kindly consult online for detailed prescription.

Give the wound some time to heal completely.  Try creams first. Later u can plan laser if required.  Eat fruits containing vit c like orange grapes pomogranate guava etc regularly.  Consult online to get ur prescription

Topical creams or ointments will help to some extent only. However, together with fractional CO2 LASER better results could be achieved.

Hello, Fresh scar which is just a month old is perfect for trial of topical treatment and even diet and supplements would support wound healing But if you want to get rid of scar then only option is laser resurfacing mainly co2 laser and that also requires multiple sessions depending on your response
Next Steps
Kindly consult me online for detailed prescription so atleast it can lighten the scar otherwise as it gets old, scar would become thicker and then creams won't work and laser would be an only option followed by micropigmentation for complete coverage of your scar
