Acne scars, i.e. hyperplastic scars, cannot be removed once they appear, but their appearance can be improved through medication, laser treatment and surgery.
1. Medication: In the early stage of scar formation, local ointment can be applied under the guidance of specialists, such as sodium heparin allantoin ointment and silicone gel to inhibit scar proliferation; if scar proliferation is obvious, glucocorticosteroids such as Triamcinolone acetonide can be injected into the scar to achieve the purpose of softening the scar.
2. Laser treatment: 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 stripping, stimulating local collagen regeneration and rearranging, but it usually takes several times of treatments to achieve the desired results.
3. Surgery: If the scar is obvious and affects the appearance or function, and the conservative treatment is ineffective for a long period of time, the proliferating scar tissue can be removed through surgery and then reduced tension suture. However, surgery is an invasive operation, and there is a risk of re-formation of hyperplastic scar, and after the operation, you need to follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the anti-scar treatment.
If you have acne that leaves raised scars, you should go to a regular hospital as soon as possible, and have your doctor formulate an individualized diagnosis and treatment plan according to your specific condition, so as not to delay your condition.
