Scar mark visibility
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

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.
