A member asked:
Does the hypertrophic scar stays permanently red or or it chenges to white color?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the scar is still building up scar tissue it will be red for a prolonged period of time. After the process tones down then it changes color to white. Kenalog (triamcinolone) injections help. Hope this helps.
