Treatment makes wide, raised, tethered or discoloured scars less noticeable with surgical or non-surgical methods, treats keloids and hypertrophic scars, and repairs chronic wounds. Silicone, steroid injections, laser, scar revision and grafts or flaps are the main options.
Scar types
- Hypertrophic scar: raised, within the wound borders.
- Keloid: grows beyond the borders and tends to recur.
- Wide or depressed scars.
- Contracture: tightness limiting movement, often after burns.
Treatment
Silicone is the basis of scar care; steroid injections treat keloids and hypertrophic scars; revision surgery and Z-plasty re-orient scars; grafts and flaps release contractures. Keloid excision alone often recurs, so it is combined with other treatment.
Chronic wounds
Circulation, diabetes, infection and pressure are investigated; dressings, debridement and graft or flap closure are planned.
Frequently asked questions
