How to prevent scald-induced keloids in teens?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the attachments (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). There is more to second-degree deep burns. Scald burns heal very efficiently. However, there is a slightly higher incidence of keloid formation. That explains your doubt. But not all are supposed to have keloids, and not all wounds. Just to be on the safer side, as the wounds are just three months old, I would like you to take some precautions and measures that will help prevent keloids and improve the look of the scar.

Compression garments, customized ones to be worn in the area 24/7. Contractubex (Extractum cepae, Heparin, and Allantoin) ointment with a local massage to be done twice a day at the site of the lesion. Sunscreen lotion with a minimum of SPF (sun protection factor) 30 to be used at the site twice daily while maintaining a two-hour gap between it and the Contractubex. Lastly, do keep me posted. The scar should heal in another two months, completely without any marks.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.
