I have sufferedfrom hypertrophic scar on my nose for 2-3 years (now Im 18 yo ) that develop after cystic acne

And I have seborrheic dermatitis too but now itsnot that bad since ive working on it

but the scar on my nose disturbme A LOT. Ivesearching for solution for this condition quite a lot

as i read i feel like i cannot rely on any treatment method because its not confirmed that it willimprove the scar, i wantto try corticosteroid injections +CO2 laser since Ive heard that it did kinda good against hypertrophic scar. But as i said, I have seborrheic dermatitis and should not uselaser treatment. And thats a big problem for me

luckily, the most noticeable group of scars are on the area that dont have seborrheic dermatitis

I want to know your opinion

1. Is CO2 laser really work well on hypertrophic scar(on nose)?

2. The area that have both seborrheic dermatitis and scar what should i do?

3. If you have other effective method or advisesplease tell me (CO2 laser is kindacostly T^T)

Anyway ill consult my dermatologist before doing it

english not my first language but ill try my best to communicate with you. Im Biology lover and have some knowledge, soyou can use sometechnical term.

Im so desperate, youradvise mighthelp me

Thank you ^^

There are some other options like cryotherapy + intralesional corticosteroids that you might want to ask your doctor about. Based on the studies available, they seem to work better than lasers.

Whether cryotherapy can be used on seborrheic dermatitis, I'm not sure.

Bottom line, ask your doc, then make an appointment with another doc and ask them. If it were me, I'd probably get 3 opinions and see if they all suggest the same thing. Only move forward when you're totally secure that you're with the right doc and doing the right procedure.
