What should I do if the scar becomes raised and hard after wound healing?

You should seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the scar's shape and depth, as well as to check for signs of infection, so that appropriate treatment measures can be taken. Patients may undergo laser therapy, which can shorten scar recovery time, promote wound healing, reduce scar hardness, and improve surface irregularities. Additionally, patients may use anti-inflammatory medications as directed by a physician; these medications can help alleviate pain, promote tissue regeneration, improve inflammatory responses, and reduce scar hardness.
