A member asked:
I would like to know if there is any over-the-counter medication i could use to help skin heal faster, and help prevent scaring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing reliable: Best way to avoid scar is to bring the skin together either with a tape or stiches. Also keep it clean, avoid infection by covering the skin...May need local antibiotic applications if there is any yellowish discharge.
