Question

My sister cut her hand with a blade about a year ago, and she still has the cut marks. What can we do to help fade these scars or make them less noticeable? Any tips or treatments would be really appreciated.

Topical Creams 1. Silicone-based creams: Creams containing silicone can help flatten and soften raised scars. 2. Hydroquinone creams: Creams with hydroquinone can help reduce hyperpigmentation associated with scarring. It's essential to consult a dermatologist before starting any treatment. They will assess the scar and recommend the best course of treatment.
