Scar mark visibility

2025-08-18 08:20:25
There is a big scar on the hand caused due to keloid(formed over a cut by glass). The keloid has suppressed with injections but the scar is very much visible. I want to reduce the visibility of the scar. I am using opexa gel but I don't see any improvement. The cut is 5yr+ old. Will the use of silicon sheets be any effective? My main concern is its visiblity

“I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed

So there are different types of scars, some are red in colour , some are pigmented and some have a little depression or elevation. Treatment varies accordingly. So please consult a dermatologist either online by sharing an image or on a video call and take a proper treatment for better results.
