Hi, I have a chickenpox scar on my nose since i was 10, I'm 23 now. Been to a skin clinic to do something about the scar, it appears greyish black, done a biopsy test, and the hyperpigmentation is deep within the dermis. I have done 2 times of laser on it and applied hydroquinone for about a month. But it still remains unchanged, are there any other options?

Hypopigmentation after laser resurfacing. What on earth can I do? I'm afraid of my surgeon who promised beautiful, baby like skin. Instead I have web-like scarring all over my face and neck.

I have seen a dermatologist a year ago with insect bites that has not completely healed but has turned into a hyperpigmented scar. It is still itchy and has now become numerous on my extremities, given my exposure to a place with mosquitoes and gnats..I have tried very high potency topical corticosteroid such as halobetasol, betamethasone and clobetasol with some help but after 2 weeks of treatment, comes back itching and non healing.
For the pain,you can take some anti inflammatory pain killers like Diclofenac.If the scar or indent remains,then laser resurfacing can be used for this purpose.
I hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
m sorry to hear about how down you are about the scars you have. You can try going to a dermatologist first to see about laser resurfacing or other options you have. Though don't expect the scars to disappear completely, as I don't think they ever will. It's just something you will have and it is no big deal. I have scars all over, some major ones too. good luck.
Hi, I know that skin resurfacing is good and also dermabrasion. They like help with smoothing out your skin. But there isn't really any over the counter products for deep scars. If you are talking about just like dark spots from post acne those can take up to a year to go away, they just fade away. But the deep ones are permanent unless you see a dermatologist and ask what they recommend by lookijng at them. I know I would like to get it done myself but it can be sooo expensive!
Unfortunately for this type of scarring or pitting, there is no medical cream as such which can treat it but surgical excision by a good plastic surgeon, collagen filling and laser resurfacing have given promising results. I would therefore recommend these two.All the advertised creams which claim to treat it are an eye wash and the condition can be treated only from a plastic surgeon or a cosmetologist/dermatologist.
