For the treatment of burn scars, topical medications can be applied under medical guidance. Commonly used drugs include asiaticoside cream and polysulfated glycosaminoglycans cream. Additionally, fractional laser therapy may be used to promote partial recovery of damaged fibers and collagen, thereby improving the appearance of burn scars. Furthermore, surgical excision of hypertrophic scar tissue followed by re-suturing is another available option.
