• Hypertrophic scars. This species differs in that it protrudes above the surface of the skin, has a pink color. Are formed from an overabundance of collagen. Excellent treatment. Optimal results in the correction of hypertrophic scars are provided by surgical excision of scar tissue and injection of hormonal agents into scar tissue, electrophonophoresis with hydrocortisone, contractubacus. Small scars can be removed with chemical peels, laser polishing and dermabrasion.
• Keloid scars and scars. There are fan or stellate forms, rough to the touch, painful, can cause itching, sensitive. After treatment, they can relapse, continuing their growth. It is very difficult to combat keloid scars. Only a qualified doctor will be able to choose the best treatment option.
