will there be problems of applying verucca gel on a mosquitoe bite scar?

Question

Is it normal for Mederma scar gel to dry up and flake off of my face after I apply it?

Answer 1

Questionable benefit: Although verrucas gel is primarily salicylic acid which can act as an antiinflammatories, I am not sure that it will help a mosquito bite. It probably will not do much damage if applied in moderation but it is an unconventional approach.

Answer 2

Yes: Pityriasis does not leave scars. It usually does not even leave color change. First confirm that the diagnosis is correct, and treat the area with prescription creams to heal the area. If there is a depressed scar it can be improved with fractionated laser treatment either co2 or erbium depending on your skin color.

Answer 3

Yes may leave mark: Yes but this may leave a mark that should be protected from the sun. Silicone gel may help.

Answer 4

Probably: If you are thinking of discoloration = scar this will normally clear wit time. If you had a loss of tissue deeper than a blister you will take longer to heal.

Answer 5

Excision: Scar revision usually involves excising the scar and re-closing the area in layers. Deep sutures are typically used to provide dermal support which minimizes scarring. Also, depending on the location and orientation of the scar, the surgeon may decide to perform local tissue rearrangement (such as a z-plasty) to better conceal a scar. Post-operative scar management is also important.

Answer 6

Excising scar: Typically, the old unsightly scar is completely excised (surgically removed), the wound is then meticulously closed and at times, re-oriented and closed to allow better healing.

Answer 7

Varies: Depends on scar location, size, character, cause, etc. Revisions start at mechanical dermabrasion for surface irregularities and go to excision of the old scars and repairing them. Some scars require both reduction and redirection of their axis in order to approach the "natural skin tension lines" of the body. Some remodeling of scars can be accomplished with certain laser treatments.

Answer 8

Excision and closure: When revising a scar, it is excised an then reclosed.

Answer 9

Scar revision....: The scar is removed and the wound carefully closed to minimize the scar that will replace it. http://psinteractive.net/scar.htm.

Answer 10

Scar revision: Involves cutting out the old scar, releasing underlying scar tissue, and carefully re-stitching it back together. Sometimes, plastic surgery techniques called "z-plasty" or "w-plasty" are used, but that's more than i can explain here. Best to see your local board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss more.

Answer 11

Laser: Laser or pulsed light treatment may be necessary to remove the scar, but often topical creams (prescription strength) can help. Sometimes these things just fade over time, you have to be patient.

Answer 12

Scar treatment: Depending on the problem with the scar there are treatments to improve them but nothing will completely remove them. I treat pigmented scars with bbl to lighten them, thick scars with fractional laser to soften them, or bad or wide scars with surgery to cut out the scar and re-sew it a more cosmetically pleasing way. The laser approach requires a series of treatments to be effective--often 5-6.

Answer 13

Many possibilties: This could be due to a variety of causes such as foreign body reaction to suture material, inclusion cysts, hypertrophic or keloid scar formation as well as numerous other possibilities. See a physician for an explanation or treatment options.

Answer 14

Macular scars: The macula is a small oval spot in the center of the retina, where photosensitive cells line the back of the eye. It is the macula that is responsible for sharp, detailed vision and for what you see right in front of you. It is usually a result of end stage wet macular degeneration or choroidal neovascularization (vessels) which impede vision in central gaze. Produces a central blind spot.

Answer 15

It is a scar: In the central portion of the retina. Scars can be from many causes which are often not evident when the scar is found. Depending on the location within the macula and its size, a scar can cause mild to severe loss of vision.
