Hi guys and girls. I have silently been following for a while. Thank you for all the tips over the yearsWhere to begin? Unfortunately over a year ago I was viciously punched above my left eyebrow using a knuckleduster. This caused me considerable trauma and distress especially since after being stitched up by the doctors I was left with a raised hypertrophic scarring. I had tried everything to reduce the size including silicon sheets, massage, dermatix gel, warm compress but it just wouldnt go. So, I went back to the doc and he had performed scar revision surgery (6months ago) which has improved the scar but its still raised ugly and red in my opinion. I have continued using silicon sheets, dermatix gel, scar massage techniques but its not really helping and getting me down Last week the maxilo facial surgeon injected 0.6ml of triamcinolone steroid which hasnt done much Is there anything else I could try? I have ordered the dermal rollers from sarah vaughters website. Im not sure if it will help in all fairness.
I think you can have the triamcinolone injected every few weeks so I would try keep getting those injections to see if it helps and maybe the next time the doc will put more in there too. i dont know enough about dermal rollers but i think they are best for atrophic scars.
