A member asked:
I have 4 pigmented scars on my face. would silicone gel(dermatix) work for these scars. one is slightly hypertrophic.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Sometimes we can inject the raised one with a steroid. For the darker marks there are a few options. It is best to see a dermatologist. In the meantime sun protection is essential.
