Scars are another skin problem that causes concern for many people, whether they arise from health problems or accidents. Taking care of them to help heal scars and make the skin smooth again may take time. Areas that are prone to scarring are the chest, back, and shoulders. If it occurs in areas with joint movement, such as the shoulders or elbows, it may also be difficult to move the body. Once a scar has formed, it will never go away, but it can be treat to fade. There are many ways to treat scars, both self-treatment and treatment with medical procedures.
Scar treatment must first consider what type of scar it is so that treatment can be appropriate for that scar type to prevent the scar from getting larger or developing into a keloid scar in the future.
- Dermabration is use when the scar is rough or indented, using a drill or laser to smooth the skin .
- Use sticky tape, also known as microporous tape, as an alternative to clear silicone gel sheets. Apply this directly to the wound to keep the skin moist and reduce inflammation.
- The traditional or conservative method involves applying a clear silicone gel sheet over the wound for 24 hours to help keep the skin moist and reduce inflammation.

- Inject with steroid medication. The recommend injection medication is Triamcinolone acetonide, which has properties to reduce inflammation that may cause raised scars or keloids. This medication must be inject into the wound within a period of no more than 1 year after the wound is receive and injected approximately once a month. If 4-5 consecutive injections are unsuccessful, the treatment method will be chang to surgery instead.
Scars are cause by a self-repair mechanism after our skin is injured. Our skin repairs itself by creating new tissue that pulls the wound edges together and fills in the lost space. Not all wound repairs result in scarring. It may or may not occur.
