1.5mm? Thats small. I was thinking cms at the least. But I guess the smaller the better. Did he make the incisions three times the size of the original scar? I think they do that

I had some scars excised today, I went to my plastic surgeon for a different reason and he said he might as well excise some scars. Previously other doctors tld me the scars werent deep enough for exc...

Yeah, never heard of it and I doubt it's even a proper term for anything. People make up all sorts of names for things for no reason. "Spread scar" sounds like a scaremongering name. F&P we're not...

Or "widened" scars?   I posted a question on realself. Eeeep. My largest scar is like smooth, looks flat, has edges. He said it may be a spread scar?   Thats a new one. Anyone have any in...

I've stopped using the hydrocolloid bandages 24/7 now, although I still keep them on during the nights. I had the bandages on for about a week. I can definitely recommend them. The scar stays nicely m...

Proper hypopigmented scar tissue probably doesn't, but most indented scars aren't like that. Can you explain that further. Sorry, confused. So, neither have pores? .-.

I'm just bumping this, so it doesn't get lost. It's such a shame there aren't more people here who've tried excision and could tell us how it worked out for them. If your scar is very shallow, Forever...

Does anyone else have this? They're not pimples, by the way. Tiny bumps, unless it's a rash it's probably a clogged pore. I thought scars dont have pores? 😮

I did try chemical peels but as this doctor stated he thinks the best chemical peel for me to get any results would be the Baker-Gordon peel. It is a phenol peel. I have read those can be pretty ris...

I can agree that in the best case, those with worse scarring see more remarkable improvement with one treatment or another. But that doesn't mean that those with more mild scarring will never be happy...

It really bothers me though. It's red, so it stands out. I have to use concealer on it even though I'm a guy. If you've had it for a long time... ie...years, the redness should have faded. And in th...

You could get it revised. Excision to cut it out, stitch it up... you'll have a line scar in place of it. Best to talk to a plastic surgeon. Won't that result in getting a certain tension in the ski...

I forgot to say, ForeverAndPatience. I still think your scar is so shallow that it's not worth excision. But you could try to consult a plastic surgeon and get their opinion on whether it would be wor...

If people documented more on their treatments with honest input and pictures with descriptions. Especially on excision. I feel like excision could really help some people, but I've found very few post...

Wish this user could come back snd tell us whats up. I'm sure his scar has healed well.

we all think that when we see the effects of medication. I feel the same way. Am probably going to start BCP this week. be happy and smile you got it all under control!   Yeah! Thanks. >. &...

I'm gonna take a picture today of my scars and post it and see if it worth it to do the peeling. I will listen to you people. If you people think that my scars aren't that bad.. then I won't try the p...

Everything gets better with time, if its time that it needs.

Peels typically don't work on indented scaring, especially deep. If you're treating redmarks, you should start with a light tca or even a light glycolic peel if they're not that bad as you say, and yo...

Thank you, Tricia and ForeverAndPatience!   Anytime doll! (:

Oops, I already put the bandage on after washing and air drying the wound, so there's no moisture underneath the bandage other than my skin's own. And yes, the wound is open for now. I'm going to repl...

Hey austra! I know the feeling of regret for picking and not knowing what it will result in. The truth of everything is you never know what the consequences are. The best thing you can do is breath...
