Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 30 year old male. I have a disfigured nose tip with the hyperpigmented scar as a result of a Hydroquinone reaction (Melalite 15 cream). I have undergone several treatments including dermabrasion, subcision and chemical peel. Currently, I am taking Limcee (vitamin c) tablets and collagen powder supplement. The scar is five years old. How to get it removed?

Answered by Dr. Suvash Sahu

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Since you already undergone all possible treatments, the last nonsurgical option, but a very good option is ND:YAG laser (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser) along with the daily night application of Clearz daily cream (Kojic acid and vitamin C) during night. The surgical option is scar revision surgery and it should be done by a plastic surgeon.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Is there a vitamin c or collagen containing gel that I can apply topically to accelerate the healing?

Answered by Dr. Suvash Sahu

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, Vicrow vitamin C serum is there, which contains L-ascorbic acid and hyaluronic acid. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. Before application, the face should be properly washed and apply 6 to 7 drops of Vicrow on the face twice a day.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
