How to reduce red marks left by wound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You must wait: Usually up to a year for complete "remodeling" of a wound. The red marks indicate that complete healing and remodeling is still ongoing. Take care of this area by using a good moisturizing lotion and avoid re-traumatizing.

Joint pain, inflammation and redness in my left big toe joint. Initially thought it to be a progressive running injury, but suspect gout. Voltaren and cataflam have helped reduce the symptoms, but after being off them for a day, the pain and swelling returns.
