Derm plastic surgeon: See a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for a review of the many options that are available and too numerous to review here ? Options to improve scars and not remove them are more realistic and range from camouflage to topical treatment with scar creams to scar revision with injections, dermabrasion, laser, or surgery.

Yes: Although a consultation with a qualified doctor is necerrary, application of retinoic acid early in the healing process can be helpful. For mature scars a similar treatment combined with judicious laser treatment can help.
