Question

Hello doctor,

I hit my forehead against a wall and had a small cut on my forehead and now it has healed and it looks like a scar. Will I have a permanent scar?

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

First, you need to understand that scar treatment depends on its depth and length. Whether your scar is permanent or not, it is very important to evaluate it. Mostly scar lightens and becomes equal to the surrounding skin with passage of time. However, scars which are deep becomes permanent. Such scar will not go away with any creams or gels. Best treatment for permanent scar is reversal by plastic surgery or it could recover to some extent with C02 laser.

Thank you for consulting me.
