Hello Doctor,
How can I effectively remove a small raised black scar? I have undergone 5 sessions of Dermapen and Fractional Laser treatments without any noticeable improvement. Which option is preferable for treatment: curettage or cryosurgery?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
To address the raised scar above the skin surface, it is recommended to consider intralesional steroid injections. This treatment approach can help reduce the elevation of the scar. Additionally, for hyperpigmentation, options like Q-switched laser or erbium laser can be considered. Q-switched lasers emit short pulses of high-intensity light to break down excess melanin, while erbium lasers resurface the skin and improve texture, potentially addressing hyperpigmentation too.
Thanks
