Q. How to remove a scar caused by scrub?
Hi doctor,
I have done PRP and my skin peeled so much. Unfortunately after 10 days of peeling, I used the scrub in my face. It started itching and the next day I had a brown scar in my cheek. How can I remove it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.I have noted your concerns. In a case like yours, who had undergone PRP (platelet-rich plasma) I would recommend the following measures.
- Sponge the area frequently with soft tissue or towel by dabbing or directly applying mild pressure but avoid rubbing.
- Avoid sun exposure completely. If that is not possible, please use a suitable sunscreen throughout the day. Preferably, it should be used at 10:00 and 13:00 hours.
- A mild moisturizer can be used to control dryness.
- Antioxidants are a great help. Capsule Antoxid HC is a good choice. Vitamin C 1 g a day is also good.
- Mild steroidal cream like Hydrocortisone can be used for the present acute condition but for a few days only.
- Avoid cosmetics and perfumed products, dust, pollution, heat, and makeup. There is a good probability of your recovery in a short time.
