Acne scars are proliferative scars left after healing due to localized acne infections, inappropriate extrusion or scarring, etc. They can be improved by topical medication and laser surgery, but cannot be completely removed.
1. Drugs: In the early stage of scar formation, you can apply local ointment under the guidance of specialists, such as sodium heparin allantoin ointment, silicone gel, etc. to inhibit scar proliferation; if scar proliferation is obvious, you can choose to inject glucocorticosteroids such as triamcinolone acetonide into the scar to achieve the purpose of softening keloid scars.
2. Laser: At present, carbon dioxide fractional laser, erbium laser and other photoelectric treatments are commonly used to deal with keloid scars, which can improve the appearance of keloid scars by peeling off and stimulating the local collagen regeneration and rearranging, but generally, it requires several times of treatments to achieve the desired results.
3. Surgery: If the scar is more obvious and affects the appearance of the scar and prolonged conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery can be performed to remove the proliferated scar tissue and then reduce the tension of the suture. However, surgery is an invasive operation, and there is a risk of re-formation of hyperplastic scar, and after the operation, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the anti-scar treatment.
Patients with raised acne scars should also pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and maintain a regular routine. It is recommended that patients who wish to undergo treatment should go to a regular hospital in time to receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a specialist.
