I have read your concern.

It seems you have developed hypertrophic scar or lichen simplex chronicus. Please attach a picture for better evaluation and best possible treatment.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have read your query, and I have seen the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

It seems you have developed hypertrophic burn scars. I suggest you try using Contractubex gel (combination of Cepalin, Heparin, and Allantoin) twice daily, after 3 to 4 doses of injection Kenacort (Triamcinolone acetonide) 40 mg/mL, once in three weeks intervals. It will give you a permanent solution. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start using the medicines after their consent.

Hope it helps.

Thank you.
