How can i prevent scars from staph aside from using vitamin e or maderma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prevention: There is a chemical property in some forms of MRSA known as a virulence factor that make it very common to see scaring. The best stratagy to prevent scars is to prevent infection in the first place. This may mean decolonization, bleach baths and/or the use of antibacterial soap such as hibiclens.
