Vitamin E cream: Used daily over time can diminish appearance of scars. Can be bought OTC at pharmacies. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Yes: Particularly if you quit using snuff. May need a nightguard to help control nighttime clenching and grinding.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Scars &amp; VitaminE: First ask your doctor about scarring.  AFTER the wound has COMPLETELY healed you and use Vitamin E.  Life holds no guarantees as we know, but vitamin E oil placed directly on the scar regularly can help to fade or remove the scar.  You can get a bottle of it in the drug store.  It's inexpensive and worth a try; just be patient. Peace and good health.

Question 4

while shaving my head i scraped hard on some areas resulting deep spots/scar? now after hair is growing, i see smooth streaks where hair is not growing like streaks/marks u see on some people's cheek(deep razor cut). can i get hair back on those cuts?

Accepted Answer

: If these areas are truly scars, there is a very poor chance of hair regrowth. See dermatologist for in person eval and possible tx

Question 5

is there maybe a way to remove the scar tissue in my cheeks to prevent further cheek-biting? my teeth are all straight and well cared for.

Accepted Answer

Cheek biting: Hi Scott!  If there are visible areas where you are biting your cheeks you may be able to have this painful tissue removed.  In my practice I have a soft tissue laser to remove growths or overgrown tissue.  There is probably a dentist in your area with a laser that can help you with this issue!  Lasers are great for this as they cauterize as they work so you get very little bleeding. Best of luck!

Question 6

do black head pads cause scars?

Accepted Answer

Generally not: Unless you squeeze a blackhead, thus traumatizing the surrounding skin, a blackhead is unlikely to cause a scar.  It is simply a plugged-up sebaceous gland where the oil has oxidized, turning dark.  Most can be  emptied by using hot compresses to loosen the sebum.  If you can't do it yourself, see your esthetician or dermatologist but don't squeeze!

Question 7

what can be done for a scar on the penis head?

Accepted Answer

Penis scar: Unless the scar gets painful during sex, leave it alone. If you cannot live with it, consult a urologist or a plastic surgeon.

Question 8

is the any plastic surgery interventions to remove scar on head?

Accepted Answer

Improve, not remove: Scars are permanent, but they improve with time. Pressure treatment, silicone sheeting and steroid injection may hasten their maturation. They also improve with time and may not reach their final appearance for 6-12 months.

Question 9

my craniotomy scar on my head gets sore sometimes why is this and is it normal its been over a year since i had it done

Accepted Answer

Scar pain: any healing scar can have hyper aesthetics or increased pain associated with the area of healing for some time afterwards. There are therapies to reduce the pain with manipulation and massage that are very effective. You may wish to visit a pain specialist, acupuncturist, massage therapist, or physical therapist to explore your options

No: The scarring is outside the cranial vault and it's only risk is for visual defect.
