How can i prevent scarring on sensitive skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take care: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure so try to stop scarring before it starts. Protect your skin with gloves, long sleeves or protective creams like sunscreen. Avoid harsh chemicals on the skin and use sensitive skin products. If you do suffer an injury, keep it covered while healing and use a gentle topical antibiotic. For bad injuries see your plastic surgeon preemptively!
